   work is still in progress ...   
   for now I test with only 16bit primes (largest: 0xfff1, count: 0x198e)   
      
   >> values for higher primes will really need 512 bits or more

   Uint, Not decimal!  dec 1/P periods are quite different to bin 1/P.   
      
   my first idea was to just use equal scaled 64 byte entries, but this soon   
   may become a heavy bloated story. So I check yet if different scaled periods   
   can save a lot on size w/o loosing too much speed.

   haven't checked it yet, I have to write a period detector first.
