In the documentation on generating a DSA key pair (the
DSAKeyPairGenerator interface), it notes that there are precomputed DSA
parameters, the p, q, and g.

At what bit size are there precomputed values? In my tests, it looks
like there are precomputed values for 512 and 1024 bits. Is that
correct? Or are there precomputed values for only 1024 bits? Or are
there values for more bit lengths?
