I am glad to show you that I have got 1200~1500 exec/s! It seems that
my computer is faster than yours, since my run time is always less than
yours when we have the same operations.

Below are my experiments:

1. Fully instrumented build

$ ./configure CC=afl-gcc && make
$ echo garbage > test.pw
$ time ../john --format=7z test.pw
No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)

real    0m0.202s
user    0m0.199s
sys     0m0.003s

2. Instrumenting only necessary minimum (5x)

$ ./configure && make && rm 7z_fmt_plug.o john.o && make CC=afl-gcc
$ echo garbage > test.pw
$ time ../john --format=7z test.pw
No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)

real    0m0.041s
user    0m0.038s
sys     0m0.003s

3. Change config file (5x)

$ echo '[Options]' > local.conf
$ echo garbage > test.pw
$ time ../john --format=7z --config=local.conf test.pw
No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)

real    0m0.008s
user    0m0.006s
sys     0m0.003s

4. Change source code (3x)

Thanks,
