+ * product of two large primes; and that the starting point is
+ * at least %$3 \cdot 2^{N-2}$%. (Hence, if you multiply two
+ * such numbers, the product is at least
+ *
+ * %$9 \cdot 2^{2N-4} > 2^{2N-1}$%

+ *
+ * We want them to be `as large as possible', subject to the constraint
+ * that we produce a number of the requested size at the end. This is
+ * tricky, because the final prime search is going to involve quite large
+ * jumps from its starting point; the size of the jumps are basically
+ * determined by our choice here, and if they're too big then we won't find
+ * a prime in time.
*
- * There's quite a lot of prime searching to be done. The constant
- * @BITSLOP@ is a (low) approximation to the base-2 log of the expected
- * number of steps to find a prime number. Experimentation shows that
- * numbers around 10 seem to be good.
+ * Let's suppose we're trying to make an %$N$%-bit prime. The expected
+ * number of steps tends to increase linearly with size, i.e., we need to
+ * take about %2^k N$% steps for some %$k$%. If we're jumping by a
+ * %$J$%-bit quantity each time, from an %$N$%-bit starting point, then we
+ * will only be able to find a match if %$2^k N 2^{J-1} \le 2^{N-1}$%,
+ * i.e., if %$J \le N - (k + \log_2 N)$%.
+ *
+ * Experimentation shows that taking %$k + \log_2 N = 12$% works well for
+ * %$N = 1024$%, so %$k = 2$%. Add a few extra bits for luck.
