[erlang-questions] Generating Primes and the O'Neill paper

[Angel Alvarez]

ive changed the code to use your last assertion.

Im blindly running the code up to 1000000 just for fun but the top output seems confusing for me.

beam process has 16m on the SWAP column but overall swap usage is only 96k, 

so whats  really  SWAP means?



top - 00:23:27 up  7:18,  7 users,  load average: 1.11, 0.77, 0.46
