could you please post the codelines you've changed?

cheers!

My lines are gonna be off since I also removed the printf statements that were inside the loops. The debug file isn't important to me anymore so eh.
But here ya go, no changes to the algorithm itself yet, my knowledge of math isn't in this area.
...

If you're changing the max sieve size, I think you can also change the vector sizes on lines 102-104.


....but what's the point?  You're obviously just proportionately reducing the chance of finding something...
I believe people are having trouble running this on multi-core machines because of cache issues, reducing the amount of memory that goes into each thread might improve the issue? I don't have a 32 core machine to test on though.

I just linked those vectors to my nMaxSieveSize, we'll see if it offers any improvement.
