The message was "test message" which is short.

I am running OS X 10.7.3 in VMware Workstation using Core 2 Duo E6750
CPU. I am not sure if the benchmark numbers can be trusted. (I am
using the relative gain as a sign that CommonCrypto is faster for SHA
family of hash functions than OpenSSL). I will benchmark XSHA512 with
OpenMP today (is CommonCrypto OpenMP friendly?).

$ ../run/john -format=xsha512 -t # before
Benchmarking: Mac OS X 10.7+ salted SHA-512 [64/64]... DONE
Many salts:	1048K c/s real, 1059K c/s virtual
Only one salt:	1027K c/s real, 1047K c/s virtual

$ ../run/john -format=xsha512 -t # after
Benchmarking: Mac OS X 10.7+ salted SHA-512 [64/64]... DONE
Many salts:	1278K c/s real, 1291K c/s virtual
Only one salt:	1244K c/s real, 1244K c/s virtual

Erik,

Can you run some benchmarks on some real hardware before and after my
CommonCrypto changes. Thanks!
