At least i am impressed how well it reduce the composite integer field but of course you need a big array...

The math guys said just construct the base using the primes 2*3*5*7*11*13*17... and so on.

NEWBASE = 510510 ------------------------------------------
BASE= 510510 Composite legs= 92.91551585669234% ===============
One could say it is a bit clumsy but i think it is neat be able to peel of numbers that do not even need to be considered for primality test.
