I tweaked it like you did, and set it up running on background for 3 days... To my surprise, when I returned today its at 66,683 and running slooooow as hell (takes like a minute or so to print the next iteration).
I wonder how many loops its jumping through to get to the next answer?
On a side note: /usr/games/bin/primes got to the same result in like 5 seconds... (just outta curiosity)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
