The last change to the code brought its complexity down to the theoretical one of trial division, as it should be, about O(n^1.45) empirically, in number of primes produced; previous versions had it up there in O(n^1.67) or even O(n^1.85), which is what I've started from.

this refers to using filter (\n-> n==head(factor primes n)) instead of filter (null . tail . factor primes) . But actually the external faster-produced primes list of Q.31 should just be used. WillNess 23:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
