Of the eliminated k values most contain a prime at an n value MUCH lower than the n values at which the most recent SeventeenorBust prime was found (k=54767, n=1337287). The largest of the k values included in the aforementioned chart was found to be prime at n=462058 (Lew Baxter, k=34999, n=462058) and most of the k values in that chart were eliminated at n values half or a quarter the size.
The point is, they were much easier to compute than any of the primes that Seventeen or Bust has found.
