Hello all,

More than fun, this number can prove efficiency of GP scripts.
Here, flags used with factorint indicates that internal Pollard-Brent Rho or
SQUFOF algorithm is used for factorization.
Using a classical Pollard-Brent Rho GP script implementation, factorization
time can be largely reduced (maybe much more with gp2c).
Thanks for this handy, reliable and fast software !

gp > for (i=1,100,y=factor(n))
time = 3,234 ms.
gp > for (i=1,100,y=factorint(n,11))
time = 3,219 ms.
gp > for (i=1,100,y=rhobrent(n))
time = 79 ms.

Here, Rho-Brent does not work and time can be saved using factorint
restricted to ECM.
However it is really funny to find so large factors so fast by ECM.

gp > y=factor(n)
time = 42,422 ms.
gp > y=factorint(n,5)
time = 47 ms.
