[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61129] Improve performance of factor() function

[Arun Giridhar]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #61129 (project octave):

The reason why only some people saw a 4x boost and not everyone is because of
a completely unrelated problem with integer ranges in Octave, nothing to do
with factor() or primes(). It is described here in more detail: bug #61300.

@Kai: it might be prudent to edit NEWS to not claim the 4x improvement for
large prime numbers. Maybe something like "significant boost for large
composite numbers" instead?
