It should be a lot better since I merged that self-test timing patch a week ago or so. Maybe we see problems now that were hidden before.

Per definition, the real crack gives the real figure. If they differ it may be due to things like test vector length not matching the IRL run (in case the format suffers significantly from length) or if the IRL hash does not use 5000 iterations. If that's not it, I'm not sure.

Why do I not see any "Loaded x hashes with y different salts" in the above?

What happens if you change BENCHMARK_LENGH to 0 and re-run this benchmark?
