Alas, it has already been invented:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DirectSearchFactorization.html
Even came up with the idea of skipping multiples of primes, and searching only up to the square root of the number. :-(
I wonder when that was invented?
Well, at least I know how fast it is compared to current methods anyway.
And if you're wondering why I was trying to find ways to factor primes, I just happened to read a link on Blue's news about a new 9.1 million digit prime, and I got an idea for how one might speed the process up and decided to work it out, and that what I came up with. So no reason. :-)
