I have now looked at x86-64.h and DES_bs.h and have added a few sysv_abi
hints which did not change the outcome. My understanding is that someone
familiar with JtR would have an easier time debugging this.
As for performance: at some point I commented out the code in times(2)
which converts NT measures (units of 100ns) to clock_t (1/100 sec)...
the test was run natively on i3-2100 pc, and with the fixed __sys_times
the numbers now finally seem correct. As an aside, an additional factor
that might slow things down a bit (but nothing like *100000) is that the
entire stack (libc, runtime library, john) is built with -g3 -O0.
