This note intended for User:Dantheox. The code below can compute the von Mangoldt function up to n=10 million in under a minute of cpu time, and higher with some patience (and/or a faster machine). I wrote it for my personal use only, its under-documented and not really meant for general consumption. Should compile cleanly.

I no longer receive personal e-mail due to spam problems. I get more then 10K pieces of spam a day, and the best spam filters are not good enough to whittle this down to less than 10.
