Fred - is this with the original best64 rules you e-mailed me, or with
the cut-down version with only JtR-compatible rules left in it (14 rules
removed)?  (BTW, this best64 is currently misnamed since it contains
more than 64 rules either way.)

magnum - testing this stuff, I see that pot sync is a major bottleneck.
Since this is your feature, you might want to benchmark and optimize it
some more, or/and maybe we just want it disabled by default when cracking
saltless hashes.  As it is, it's just not able to handle Fred's "about
1.7 million solutions" in a minute - it takes several minutes to process
those guesses, so it becomes the primary bottleneck for the whole run.

I am now running john with your test case on 2x E5420, which is similar
(2.5 GHz, though).  I'll post more on this soon.
