[squeak-dev] Integer>>isPrime why reverting Knuth's algorithm P (probabilistic primality test) with iteration over division with even numbers?

isLargeIntPrime  for the Knuth version

isSmallIntPrime for the "determinitic" version


isPrime

self < 100000 "or the actual limit...maybe SmallInter maxVal  1073741823"
   ifTrue: [^self isSmallIntPrime]
   ifFalse: [^self isLargeIntPrime]


my 2 cents... :)
