How to get the charset configuration ? How is the position to be
substituted determined ?

I'll look for some alternative for modulo division but this is temporary.

Yes I get similar result on my 7970 too. I think better results are
possible if we can keep the GPU occupied for longer time.
Maybe compute more hashes every crypt all call(not by increasing GWS).
