Predicting the needed time for high n-values?

[Rincewind]

Is there a way to predict/calculate the time a LLRnet-Test with a higher n-value would take?
I know that it depenends on the cpu, but is there a way to calculate it in relation to a lower n?
Like:

n=300.000 : n=1.500.000
       5h : xh

Maybe this is different with base 5 numbers than base 2 numbers, but a doubling of n produces roughly a quadrupling of testing time, so e.g. if n=300K is 5 hours (from your example), n=600K would be 20 hours, n=1200K would be 80 hours, so I'd guesstimate that n=1500K would be around 100 hours.
Of course, I could just be completely wrong. A better way would be to run some iterations and multiply appropriately.

Ditto.

Ditto here also from my experience with the numerous different bases on the CRUS project.

To be more exact, if an n=300K test takes 5 hours, an n=1.5M test, since the exponent is 5 times as high, would take 25 times longer, i.e. 125 hours.

I started the following three pairs in llrnet, and noted the time and the percentage after restarting llrnet and calculated the time a certain pair would need to finish.

Pairs:
64258 328758
64258 657558
64258 1972518

(I got the first pair from the server after starting llrnet. The other two 
n-values are generated with sr5sieve [sr5sieve -a 64258 657516 2000000] and are 
about 2 times // 6 times as big as the n-value from the server)

And the results are:


If you increase the n-value with the factor 2, the needed time is increased by factor ~4 (2^2)
Increasing the n-value with the factor 6 causes the needed time to be increased by the factor ~36 (6^2)


So, your answers were correct. Thanks.
