Line 8:
:At 5 I have found the number of candidates at each level to be the same as the number found at 100 (where I have been able to determine the 100 number).

: It's fascinating that when I compare the number of primes at different stages using different levels of reliability testing, the difference with one Miller-Rabin round is only about 1% larger than the count with 5, and often rather less than that. This means that as the number of candidates narrows back down again as the prime size increases, the bad candidates seem to be being removed. Fascinating, that. Also, if you've not got a good MR implementation, you really ''need'' a decent <code>modpow()</code> function/operator; it makes a gigantic difference.
