OK, done.

No, that is very small and quick. I'm not sure, I see nothing wrong from
a quick look.
I can't see any obvious reason it doesn't scale better either - it
spends 95% in (and below) crypt_all() where everything should be MT. But
I only get 161% when running on two threads. I think this format is slow
enough to scale much better than that.
I would correct your backwards use of get_salt() / set_salt() as Jim
suggested before doing anything else, but that's not really the reason
here as I'm just testing with one salt.
