Confirmed that it was a glitch (unrelated server load?) by reviewing the
individual benchmarks' output.  wpapsk's benchmark at 10 threads was:

Benchmarking: wpapsk, WPA/WPA2 PSK [PBKDF2-SHA1 128/128 AVX 4x]... (10xOMP) DONE
Raw:    3120 c/s real, 311 c/s virtual

Nearby benchmarks (the previous and the next format benchmarked) look
unaffected.
