I forgot to mention that the interleaving factor I experimented is SIMD_PARA_SHA256.
The corresponding performance of pbkdf2-hmac-sha256 is:
[clang]
x1
Raw: 289 c/s real, 289 c/s virtual
x2
Raw: 271 c/s real, 271 c/s virtual
x3
Raw: 273 c/s real, 273 c/s virtual
x4
Raw: 269 c/s real, 269 c/s virtual
[icc]
x1
Raw: 300 c/s real, 300 c/s virtual
x2
Raw: 235 c/s real, 235 c/s virtual
x3
Raw: 242 c/s real, 242 c/s virtual
x4
Raw: 226 c/s real, 226 c/s virtual
There's more noticeable degradation for icc when interleaving is increased from x1 to x2. Considering the size change, it looks icc is indeed more aggressive when unrolling.
OTOH, when interleaving is increased from x2 to x4, the size of text segment doesn't change as significantly as from x1 to x2. I don't know why this happened.

I think 225 - 215 = 10 corresponds to the number of unrolled SHA256_PARA_DOs, which is a bit less than the actual number of SHA256_PARA_DOs used in the source code. I manually compared the report given by icc and the source code, and confirmed that a few SHA256_PARA_DOs are indeed not unrolled. This again implies that manual unrolling may be needed. Or maybe tweaking the compiler flags can help.
