Was I've said is one bit means about 2 times the work, or less with a
better algorithm, but still somewhat close to that.
So factoring a 4096 bit number takes 2^(4096-512) times [the time to
factor a 512 bit number].
The point of my original post was we're faster than this, but certainly
not so much.
