Sure , I'll paste both of them below.The architecture is x86 as you
correctly guessed.

Yes there is no speedup for DES.
icc:

Well as you said there aren't any substantial improvements for md5 :
icc:
Benchmarking: Raw MD5 [raw-md5]... DONE
Raw: 2685K c/s real, 3750K c/s virtual
gcc:
Benchmarking: Raw MD5 [raw-md5]... DONE
Raw: 2581K c/s real, 3615K c/s virtual
OpenBSD blowfish is equal in both versions , the only recognizable
improvements are eggdrop blowfish and sha1.
With the other type of hashes compiling with icc doesn't change much if
it changes anything.

Yeah I figured so I removed it from the flags and recompiled icc first
with
"-O2 -xB -axB -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops"
(Using -O3 just slows it down.)
which didn't make any difference in benchmarks compared with the gcc
version.
However adding -ip and -ipo gave me this results.I know this is not a
serious optimization ,I thought comparing the benchmarks might help in
developing john somehow.
I also want to add that using icc instead of gcc gives considerable
optimization with aircrack-ng and mdcrack.I know this is not the point
of discussion here but it might give an idea to users of intel cpus
who read this thread.
