The choice of a < 72, exponent=8 allows efficient sieving (all factors are
of the form 16k+1), but a^8 is not so large that LLR has to use a slow
generic FFT. (Using exponent=16 would reduce the choices for a to 3 or 5).

n=1,000,000 takes about 10,000 P4 GHz seconds to test with LLR 3.7.1.

Sieving speed for all 10 sequences 200,000 < n < 1,000,000 is about 1.35
million p per P3 GHz second. (At p=2.5 trillion with srsieve 0.5.2).
