It's not public, and it's not ready to be made public because that would
misattribute the various hacks to the original author (the comments would
need to be edited first). Instead, I've placed it in your home dir on
bull - please take a look.

That's better than what I saw prior to making any changes at the time.
Apparently, new Catalyst optimizes the original code a lot better now.
Anyhow, with my somewhat optimized code new Catalyst is actually slower
than whatever version we had on bull at the time. I got 6800+ Mkeys/s
at the time, now only getting 6500+ Mkeys/s. The original kernel gives
me 5700+ Mkeys/s now.
Optimized:
Run time: 1.316827 s
Rate: 6523.205328 Mkeys/s
Time to search keyspace: 127.851246 days
Original:
Run time: 1.501679 s
Rate: 5720.220933 Mkeys/s
Time to search keyspace: 145.798552 days
Hmm, I don't know why your "Run time" is 10x lower. Maybe there was
some other change. (I started hacking based on Lukas' port to Linux.)

Yes, please do try to figure this out.
Thanks,
