I played around with RAM allowance on a 100M digit exponent from your stack. One interesting thing: the B1 bound does not increase monotonically with RAM!

Edit: It's worth mentioning these are all with: "Assuming no factors below 2^79 and 1 primality test saved if a factor is found."

(Funny, the Memory= settings in local.txt allow you to enter more RAM than the machine has installed!)

I will send a PM with the window output, if you are interested. I did not run these to completion, so there is no data on timings.
