TITLE: Bound for divisor function
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: I have been searching for a bound of the divisor function $d(n)$, meaning the number of divisors of n. So far I have found that it can be bounded by 
$$ d(n) \le e^{O(\frac{\log n}{\log \log n})}$$
Wigert has proven the constant is $\log 2$ so 
$$  d(n) \le e^{(\log 2+ o(1)) \frac{\log n}{\log \log n}} $$
However, when I tried to check that bound on a computer, it did not seem right. 
I have drawn $d(n)$ (in blue), $e^{\frac{\log n}{\log \log n}}$ (in red) and $e^{\log 2 \frac{\log n}{\log \log n}}$ (in green) on the following graph:
 
Furthermore, when I plot $\frac{\log d(n)}{\log n / \log \log n}$, it does not seem to have $\log 2$ as a limit either. See this other graph:
 
It appears the constant 1 is a much better fit !
So my question is: is Wigert's bound only true for large $n$ (i.e larger than $10^6$) ?
My confusion comes from the second equation, which is clearly a bound (see this post on Tao's blog) and the result of Wikipedia, which is a limit.

REPLY [4 votes]: If you want to see how the bound is approached for bigger values of $n$ you might want take a look to the last graph in this page about highly composite numbers and the tables linked there.
There you see how the ratio $\log(d(n))/\mathrm{Li}(\log(n))$ approaches $\log 2$ as $n$ goes through the highly composite numbers, (ie numbers such that $d(n)>d(m)$ for all $m=1,2,\dots, n-1$).
As $\mathrm{Li}(x) \sim x/\log x$ as $x \to \infty$ the asymptotic is equivalent to the one you state but it seems to work much better, as an example the last entry $n$ in the tables (an integer with 17000 decimal digits) gives
$$ \frac{\log d(n)}{\mathrm{Li}(\log n)} = 0.6946\ldots \quad \text{but} \quad \frac{\log d(n)}{\log n/\log\log n}=0.7793\ldots$$
