I've just tried this myself. 256-bit XOP is slower than 128-bit, but
not by that much. This is on FX-8120 at its rated frequencies.
Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS XOP-16]... (8xOMP) DONE

I've also tried various mixed instructions (such as AVX and ALU) and
even things like:
OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY='0 2 4 6' ./john-xop256 -te -fo=des &
OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY='1 3 5 7' ./john-native -te -fo=des &
but none of these resulted in a better cumulative speed. Simply doing
128-bit XOP and only it from all 8 threads works best so far.
