This is very nice. Thank you! (No, I haven't tested it yet.)

I guess this means that your CPU code is a lot slower than it can/should
be. ;-) And your 140K c/s figure for 7970 (mentioned elsewhere)
suggests that you might still be spending much time in CPU code, which
is why changing the GPU makes little difference.
IIRC, this is PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA-1 with 1000 iterations producing a 3DES
key, right? If so, I think that's roughly the same as 2000 iterations
(since SHA-1's output size is not enough for a 168/192-bit 3DES key
as-is). For MSCash2, we have 10240 iterations. So you should have 5
times higher speed, or about 500k c/s on 7970.
Also, I notice that your code does not use bitselect() and rotate() yet -
see the kernel we use for MSCash2 and merge those changes.
Thanks again,
Alexander
