I did so with some moderate 5...8-digit primes on "real hardware".
But the results are comparable:

Indeed the simple INC method is much faster than NEXTP. For instance factoring 1234577 (=1x1234577 ;-)) takes about 15 vs. less than 2 seconds. I don't know how I got to my previous conclusion that NEXTP was faster – sorry, my fault.
