+ it detects your CPU's L1 & L2 cache sizes and allocates its main data
+ structures accordingly.  It is also multi-threaded by default, it uses all
+ available CPU cores whenever possible i.e. if sequential ordering is not
+ required. primesieve can generate primes and prime k-tuplets up to 264.")
