Is it possible to reproduce this on bull easily? What i saw is listed
below: -opencl is slower than -gpu? Doesn't make sense. But it is, even
after the attached patch (no more OpenCL code). I saw nothing inside
Makefile. Have you tried unstable?
I tried -native, -gpu, -opencl: ../run/john -form:sha512crypt -t=20
-native

-opencl (the best)
