Ah, note, said program also had one goroutine trying the stupidest-possible way of finidng primes in one goroutine (then not actyakly doing anything with the found primes, apart from appending them to a slice). It literally trial-divided (well, modded) all numbers between 2 and isqrt(n) to see if it was a multiple. Not designed to be clever, explicitly designed to suck about one core.
