Yeah but then ALL even numbers would be slow to compute because you would have to chain through every odd before you know that 2 is even.

Depends on the expected distribution of input values

Heuristic: keep it until 512, afterwards powers of 2, and numbers like 1000, 2000,.., 10000, 20000,... (regex: [0-9]000+)
