Yes, your right.
I've added to wiki similar charts for two other patches, because
comparing patches by pure c/s hides some information for example:
-when we change test vectors, what was often in my case
-when we do optimization which works only for shorter or longer passwords
-other things which cannot be "captured" by those charts
On sha256crypt chart we see performance drops when passlen is grater
than 6. It's because we need to call sha256 compression function twice
(hashed datasize overflows one 512bit block) for every iteration.
Sha512crypt is almost constant regardless of passlen. Md5-crypt calls
md5 only once for every iteration up to passlen equal 15.

It was rounds=5k and passlen=10 for both of them.

Sorry I've made a backup and went to bed. All patches are already on wiki.
I've got two additional questions:
-does patches should contain "This file is part of John the Ripper
password cracker." in the license?
-is it possible to delete files from wiki?
