Mystwalker,
Thanks for point this out... there are two things to consider here.
First how much will this speed up the client?
Bringing the lowest n up from 991 to 25,000 will speed up the client, but not by much.
speed increase = [100 x (25000-991)]/50000000 = 0.05%
Second the dat in addition to being the (paramemter file) to run sieve is also an archieve of all unfactored k/n pairs n<50M. So if one decides to factor these small numbers they always know which k/n pairs are left by downloading the latest dat.
So I don't think the speed increase is worth the sacrifice of maintaining two files, dats, or a seperate k/n archieve, etc.
Your thoughts?
