This takes about 4 seconds on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
laptop (64 bit linux):

import itertools, time

def candidates():
    yield 2
    yield 3
    for i in itertools.count(5,6):
        yield i
        yield i+2

def fac(n):
    for c in candidates():
        if c*c > n:
            yield n
            break
        while n%c == 0:
            yield c
            n /= c

t0 = time.time()
print list(fac(2**111+1))
print time.time() - t0
