BTW, on well (i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz), the best combination for combined
c/s rate is to run 6 processes with BF_X2 = 1 and 2 processes with BF_X2
= 3.
This resulted in a combined c/s rate of 6912, while 8* BF_X2 = 1 just
got 6764.
(I ran --test=120 with 8 separate processes.)
I guess for more processes with BF_X2 = 3, the limited cache could be
the problem.
Of course, combining processes with different max. keys per crypt makes
defining an optimal attack harder.
