I got curious what the current rate is at factoring the RSA challenges. Arjen Lenstra suggested a formula of (Year - 2000) × 32 + 512 (red) for predicting how factoring capability would grow, but it appears his projection was optimistic. The current factoring rate (blue) shows a much slower progress of published academic factoring records.
