Ok. So I had a bit of "down time" in between doing CAD designs. Managed to run from 25M to 1B digits. Specs of the system are still the same. (Intel Core i7 980X 3.33 GHz@4 GHz, swap on OCZ Vertex2 90 GB SATA SSD, working directory on FusionIO io-Xtreme 80 GB PCIex4 SSD).

Here are the validation results:
