Yes, it's surprisingly good. And I am still getting these speeds after
the system reinstall. However, somehow md5crypt-opencl speed is now
halved, and I can't figure out why (and why wpapsk-opencl isn't). I'd
suspect that I mixed up Intel package versions and lost AVX2 support
somewhere, but then it would have impacted wpapsk-opencl as well.
Whatever.
Returning to the topic of auto-tuning, there's now some weirdness seen
for md5crypt-opencl on Titan X:

Notice how it was up to 3.46M during auto-tuning, but only 1.2M when
benchmarked the tuned settings. And:
[solar@...er run]$ LWS=32 GWS=12288 ./john -test -form=md5crypt-opencl -dev=4
Device 4: GeForce GTX TITAN X
Benchmarking: md5crypt-opencl, crypt(3) $1$ [MD5 OpenCL]... DONE

It's unclear why GWS=12288 appears to be fast during auto-tuning.
Are we using a different mix of password lengths there or something?
Actual cracking at length 8:
LWS=32 GWS=12288:
0g 0:00:00:09 0g/s 0p/s 4824Kc/s 4824KC/s GPU:45б╟C util:98% fan:22% aaaaaaaa..pesaaaaa
LWS=32 GWS=98304:
0g 0:00:00:35 0g/s 0p/s 4386Kc/s 4386KC/s GPU:62б╟C util:99% fan:22% aaaaaaaa..xkpfaaaa
So 12288 is in fact faster for fixed length 8.
BTW, what if one of the GWS figures in the first pass (before LWS
tuning) turned out to be higher than all of those in the second pass?
Would we revert to it (and the original LWS)? Perhaps we should, since
otherwise we're not making full use of the benchmarks made. I expect
this to rarely be the case, yet it might happen.
