How big a number can PrimeQ work?

I've got my own personal sieve for huge numbers, I was able to generate a number larger than the known largest prime number, but I need a certificate for the prime, and PrimeQ is taking more than one day to give me an answer. Can I send to someplace at Wolfram to get it verified?

Yes, PrimeQ uses the recent version of PSW.

As best I can tell, the Miller-Rabin 3-psuedoprime test is not used.

Regarding our current Lucas test, I believe the reference implementation I posted on Community is equivalent to what is implemented in our internal code.
