Maybe we should try callgrind with very long test runs (--test=60 or much more) and see if it can sample enough for kcachegrind to show some info within the hash functions. This might even help see relations between the source and the resulting assembler.
Same settings as the previous, except for longer run time (--test=20):
x1
Function CPU Time
__memcpy_sse2_unaligned 1.475s
memcpy 0.975s
pbkdf2_sha256_sse 0.383s
SSESHA256body 0.224s
_mm_xor_si128 0.088s
[Others] 17.294s
x2
Function CPU Time
SSESHA256body 3.759s
__memcpy_sse2_unaligned 0.735s
pbkdf2_sha256_sse 0.280s
_mm_xor_si128 0.108s
_mm_srli_epi32 0.056s
[Others] 15.929s
x3
Function CPU Time
SSESHA256body 4.155s
__memcpy_sse2_unaligned 0.563s
pbkdf2_sha256_sse 0.426s
_mm_srli_epi32 0.108s
_mm_add_epi32 0.076s

Function CPU Time
SSESHA256body 4.292s
__memcpy_sse2_unaligned 0.559s
pbkdf2_sha256_sse 0.340s
_mm_srli_epi32 0.148s
_mm_slli_epi32 0.083s
[Others] 16.184s
Use of intrinsics is counted as function calls, so their run time is included in the '[Others]' row, rather than in SSESHA256body. Yet '__memcpy_sse2_unaligned' is still there. It's likely used to accelerate memcpy by using SIMD instructions. I thinks it just implies the overhead of memcpys in JtR, which is normal.
