[RC5] time spent on RC5-72

Yes, that's the power of numbers. By adding a digit you're making the
job more difficult ;-) How many digits do you need to add in order to 
make the job impossible? Well, nobody knows. That's why we have projects

With the amount of time passed so far with RC5-72,we are almost at the 
mark when RC5-64 finished, at 1757 days(when the key was found) or 
technically 1800 days when it was stopped. At the current rate I doubt 
if we will ever see 1% before the 10th year anniversary of RC5-72 or go 
as far as RC5-64 did in anyone's lifetime lol.
