I think it would be better to send not only the code but also the mathematical problem, as there may be a way to do it in a different way. Unless I am misunderstanding something, what you are trying to do is the same as this:

In[31]:= Block[{y = Round[Sqrt[x^3]]},
  Reap[Table[
     If[(x^3 - y^2) != 0 && Not[IrreduciblePolynomialQ[poly]],
      Sow[{x, y}]], {x, 2, 1000000}]][[2]]] // Timing

Out[31]= {721.327,{}}

This ought to be a lot faster than your code, but I have not tried to run yours to the end. Also, it is possible that using the Eisenstein Test explicitly may be somewhat faster:

Block[{y = Round[Sqrt[x^3]]},
   Reap[Table[
    If[x^3 - y^2 != 0 && Mod[x^6 - 2*x^3*y^2 + y^4, 4] == 0 &&
              ! IrreduciblePolynomialQ[poly], Sow[{x, y}]], {x, 2,
     1000000}]][[2]]]

{}

but I forgot to use Timing and don't want to wait again, particularly that the answer is the empty set.
