What's that "No protocol" stuff?

Strange. No, AES-NI won't make any difference for short blocks like -hp
mode or the tiny inlined -p mode files, nor will OMP. I would expect an
overclocked 570 to be similar to a 580. Note that the usual LWS/KPC
environment variables and/or john.conf options can be used (but there's
currently no find-best enumeration built in if setting them to zero).

I got best result (but with long runtime) from LWS=576 KPC=9216
