I am seeing the following benchmark under MacOSX and with 2.33 Ghz  
Core2 cpu.

./john -test -format:NT
Benchmarking: NT MD4 [SSE2 5x]... DONE
Raw:    13612K c/s real, 14764K c/s virtual

The original patch produced the following benchmark:

./john -test -format:NT
Benchmarking: NT MD4 [Rapid NT MD4]... DONE
Raw:    6148K c/s real, 6405K c/s virtual

Is the large benchmark speed increase real?
