By default primesieve uses a sieve size that matches your CPU\(cqs L1 cache size (per core) or is slightly smaller than your CPU\(cqs L2 cache size\&. This setting is crucial for performance, on exotic CPUs primesieve sometimes fails to determine the CPU\(cqs cache sizes which usually causes a big slowdown\&. In this case you can get a significant speedup by manually setting the sieve size to your CPU\(cqs L1 or L2 cache size (per core)\&. .RE
