Here it is a new test with Magnum's advice :
------------------------------------------------------
1 core, duration 40 mn : found 8676
------------------------------------------------------
2 cores, duration 20 mn : found 8207
------------------------------------------------------
4 cores, duration 10 mn : found 7886
------------------------------------------------------
8 cores, duration 5 mn : found 7189
