Comment (by novadenizen):

 It ran overnight and I forgot to use `time`, so I'm not sure.  Running
 with 20 billion iterations took 36 minutes on my linode, though, so I
 would expect it took about 6 hours.

 I just now reran this tool looking for `v == 3` and it output `Just
 871055575`, which is reasonable.
