It is funny that I just visited a forum post, Fun with primes and (NewLisp), that may explain your table distribution.

It seems prime gap frequency distribution peak at multiples of 6 (primes upto 1.6 billion)

So, another way to quickly get another prime might be adding multiples of 6, and check primality.
