BTW, right now your tree picks PARA 1 for this version of gcc, so we get:
Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [SSE2i 4x]... DONE
Raw: 4400 c/s real, 4400 c/s virtual
which is twice slower than 1.7.9's original code (with the same gcc).
...and I was wrong about 10000+ c/s - not with this old gcc. Here's
what I actually get with 3.4.6:
Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [32/64 X2]... DONE
Raw: 8998 c/s real, 8998 c/s virtual
So PARA 3 is in fact a bit faster for this old gcc here, but I am not
comfortable relying on that - it might be a lot slower e.g. on AMD CPUs.
The code is clearly so far from optimal that its performance is likely
unstable across different CPUs. X2 is a safer bet for gcc < 4.0.
As to MD4 and SHA-1, here's what -jumbo-5 picks with gcc 3.4.6:
Benchmarking: Raw MD4 [SSE2i 12x]... DONE
Raw: 13100K c/s real, 13100K c/s virtual
Benchmarking: Raw SHA-1 [SSE2i 4x]... DONE
Raw: 4930K c/s real, 4930K c/s virtual
I don't know why the 6500K vs. 4930K discrepancy.
I think we need to benchmark a build with Bartavelle's assembly code,
then decide.
