It'll be fun to attempt, though. (If it takes more than two weeks, I'll try to find a way to send it back. That will be an interesting problem, as the file at 1 billion p is more than a gig.)

Remember to choose the "twin search" on NewPGen, and do not include even k values. For a range of 5G, you should have less than 3 million candidates after sieving to 1 billion
