Speedup of each format:

-------------------
md5crypt	6.4
phpass		7.2
sha256crypt	2.1
sha512crypt	3.4
pbkdf2-md5	9.6
pbkdf2-sha256	4.8
pbkdf2-sha512	2.6
-------------------

Well, some of the speedups seem too high. I once doubted if I got other load when benchmarking those non-AltiVec figures, so I retried the 'before' part. But the figures didn't get higher. Perhaps something other than vectorization is playing a role here, but I don't know.

It's Power 8. I disabled OpenMP in this benchmarking.
