Unfortunately things get worse if you build with OMP. The test is more effective with more than one keys per crypt(). Not that I have seen any more of your formats yet, it segfaults on IPB so the rest are not tested with a --test=0 run.
We may have a lot to do. I'll keep focusing on OpenCL formats for now.
