       Hi,

we have put on http://cado-nfs.gforge.inria.fr/ a comparison of different
releases on RSA-challenge numbers on the same platform:

Input number    CADO-NFS 1.1    CADO-NFS 2.0    CADO-NFS 2.1
RSA-120         100 hours       45.6 hours      43.9 hours
RSA-130         288 hours       231 hours       219 hours
RSA-140         809 hours       614 hours       599 hours
RSA-155         268 days        141 days        123 days

This clearly shows one should use the latest release of CADO-NFS for more
efficiency.
