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?
