Hi Wenhao,

At this time there are not any open issues that I am aware of for CF.
However, there are always improvements that can be made to the code, so
I wpuld encpurage you to explore it and see if you can find any speedups
or propose any functionality improvements.  For instance, maybe one idea
is adding another simple factorizer (unfortunately I don't have one
handy to suggest), or to profile the code and see if you can find any
slow parts.

I hope this is helpful. :)

Thanks,

Ryan
