I like that paper. Thank you. It has references which criticize the skipahead technique. I need to look into whether I believe that paper, though. There are lots of ideas about how to do this, and subtle flaws abound. While many generators are known to skipahead, there is a quite new technique for MT that makes it much faster, not by Barash and Shchur, but they used it. Again, thanks.
