Subject: Benchmark versus incremental mode (speed)

Magnum, all

Why benchmark shows a speed so different from real cracking (even now)? 
Is there anything i missed? Should i do something in a different way?
If possible, could you please give me any hint or advice?

First point, which one is the real number? Please take a look in [1] and 
[2].
My test vector is not that bad comparing to --incremental mode. Or is it?

I need some advice since auto-tunning code have to show "the" speed.
