Large solutions [to Diophantine equations]

A few other 2-variable equations with fairly large smallest solutions are:

x3 3 y3 - x y + 63: {7149, 4957}

x4 y3 + 2 x y - 2 y + 81: {19674, 531117}

x4 5 y3 + x y + y - 8 x: {69126, 1659072}

The equation xx yy zz is known to have smallest non-trivial solution {2985984, 1679616, 4478976}.
