Ah -- yes I am, it picked up my gprc.txt.

Turning it off I get

(09:56) gp >default(factor_add_primes,0)
(09:56) gp >alarm(1); factor(2^256+1)
  ***   at top-level: alarm(1);factor(2^256+1)

where the second line now takes about 5 seconds.

This one is unexpected: are you using factor_add_primes ?
Maybe retry in a new session just to be sure ?
