The change is that in 1.7.8, we always had 16K keys_per_crypt, and in
1.7.9 we have 8K x number of threads (the latter is capped to 4, because
it does not scale further). I did that on some AMD hardware using
gcc-4.5 and I did not see this performance drop (on the contrary).
The fastest formats will always show these variations depending on
hardware and exact compiler version but we could possibly change this to
16K x number of threads and see if it helps.
