This helped as well, but not as much as switching from BF_X2 to BF_ASM did.
I tested this on the 1.7.9-jumbo-6-fixes version.

Without any changes:

$ ./john-1.7.9-jumbo-6-fixes --format=bf --test=10
Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/32 X2]... DONE
Raw:	169 c/s real, 169 c/s virtual

Switching to ASM:

$ ./john-1.7.9-jumbo-6-fixes-asm --format=bf --test=10
Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/32]... DONE
Raw:	215 c/s real, 216 c/s virtual

Switching to the P1 ASM version:

$ ./john-1.7.9-jumbo-6-fixes-asm-p1 --format=bf --test=10
Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/32]... DONE
Raw:	231 c/s real, 232 c/s virtual
