There are a lot of fat-mouthed distro lackeys on this group
that claim that a generic distro is just as fast as any optimized
system.

Well, it's time for them to put their money where their fat mouths
are.

Download and build "msieve" which is a program to factor very
large integers:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/msieve/files/msieve/

Perhaps your distro already has msieve ready to rock and roll.
Gentoo certainly does.  So too does ArchLinux.

Whatever, be sure to use msieve that is NOT built to use the
GPU (via CODA) but only the CPU.

Then factor the following 159-digit integer:

343065624301876906744214935814545423476905577648850799588019249360798320538732597045829167171100863421689224335886880379963254179442200201724690242850228936603

Report the time required.  Msieve will output the time upon
completion.

My customized 12-year-old Core i7 will doubtless beat the pants
over all recent systems using a genric distro.

C'mon!  Get fucking moving!  Report or else forever shut the
fuck up.
