Results are in (@4GHz / no x.org / 1.7.9 plain - no jumbo):

1. No-omp / ASM=0

GCC 4.3.4 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     4444K c/s real, 4444K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  4262K c/s real, 4262K c/s virtual

GCC 4.6.2 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     3370K c/s real, 3370K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  3265K c/s real, 3265K c/s virtual

ICC 12.1 (-fast -march=core2)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     4487K c/s real, 4487K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  4316K c/s real, 4316K c/s virtual

...so GCC 4.3.4 does great here but ICC slightly outperforms it.


2. OMP with NUM_THREADS=1

GCC 4.3.4 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     4131K c/s real, 4131K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  3780K c/s real, 3782K c/s virtual

GCC 4.6.2 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     4168K c/s real, 4168K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  3813K c/s real, 3813K c/s virtual

ICC 12.1 (-fast -march=core2)
Many salts:     4625K c/s real, 4625K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  4187K c/s real, 4187K c/s virtual

Almost identical performance for 4.3.4 / 4.6.2...


3. OMP with NUM_THREADS=2 

GCC 4.3.4 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     7932K c/s real, 3969K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  6268K c/s real, 3134K c/s virtual

GCC 4.6.2 (-O2 -march=nocona)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     7967K c/s real, 3983K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  6316K c/s real, 3158K c/s virtual

ICC 12.1 (-fast -march=core2)

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     8900K c/s real, 4450K c/s virtual 
Only one salt:  7153K c/s real, 3575K c/s virtual

Again, almost identical performance for 4.3.4 / 4.6.2... the biggest difference of 4.3.4 vs 4.6.2 in my case seems to be the non-OMP build which reaches almost ICC levels.
