This is the order of my preference, also. You decide, though. Cheers, H.
H, what version of msieve were you running? I keep forgetting to upgrade this one, so when I ran this, it was with 1.39 and it finished on the first try, so I don't know what zone you were really in:
Code:
linear algebra completed 222519 of 223174 dimensions (99.7%, ETA 0h 0m)
lanczos halted after 3528 iterations (dim = 222925)
recovered 32 nontrivial dependencies
