222-digit SNFS completed with msieve

From the following link (by Greg Childers):
http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=115322#post115322
"The NFSNet factorization of 5^317-1 (SNFS difficulty of 222 digits) has been completed with msieve."
"...the runtime was just over 6 days"
Apparently this represents a real advance in speed of processing over the established suite for postprocessing large NFS sieve jobs. Thanks Jason (Papadopoulos)!
