Well,

Assuming MAX_LONG = PHP_INT_MAX (4 byte int, 32bits) = (2^32)-1 =
4294967295
(I don't know, I don't have a defined MAX_LONG) then it will work for
approximately:

Your current rate:
4294967295/29000 = 148102 days
148102/365 = 405 years

34 times your current rate:
4294967295/1000000 = 4294 days
4294/365 = 11 years



Does that help any?
