I am working on some SSE porting, and was simply doing some testing at different sse-para settings. Right now, I have bugs to work through, if PARA is > 1 for my pbkdf2-hmac-sha1 logic, but will get that fixed up 'soon'. I just wanted to report these findings while it was fresh in my memory. Yes I never checked this thoroughly for the new ICC version (some quick checks indicated no change was needed but I may have neglected SHA-1). You could set CC=icc in top of Makefile and try "make clean testpara". There's also "testpara32". Preferably we should do that on a recent Intel and on a recent AMD and compare the results. magnum
