I agree that test-sieving on ncurves will work- but not a test-sieve at a single Q value. If I did it, I'd want 3 Q's early-mid-late job; in your case, 20-50-80M would convince me. Chances are that what's fastest at one will be fastest at another Q, but I don't think it's obvious that it has to happen that way. I'll post a new params.c180 soon with 31/31LP this afternoon. Progress! As for finding the 2LP/3LP crossover, we only need to test every 5 digits since that's how the params files are organized. The work we're doing could be used to generate e.g. params.c178, which CADO would recognise and use for specifically 178-digit inputs, but the maintainers have already told me not to submit any such params files. Seems like overkill, even for us.
So like this?

Code:
tasks.I = 15
tasks.qmin = 5000000 # subject to further investigation
tasks.sieve.qrange = 10000
