I pricked my ears up when I saw this - I've been spending a quite ridiculous amount of time tuning prime code.
Happily for my sanity the program I published over on comp.lang.c++(1) is quite a bit faster than that one. On the other hand, I'm tuning for modern processors, and the comment in there say inter alia "It generates the 50847534 primes up to 1000000000 in just 8 seconds on a Pentium II-350"
I don't remember the last time I saw one of those.
