"Thus began a process that culminated in my developing a new class
of Number Theory Sieves (NTS) to generate prime numbers, and test
primality of numbers, that use minimum memory, are simple to code,
and are much faster than all previously known methods."

That's quite a claim!  You might consider toning this down
a little if you want to be taken seriously.  :-)

How does your prime-generating algorithm stack up against
Bernstein's primegen package?
