Subject: Re: JtR 1.7.4 and jumbo patch update

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. I've been
traveling over the holidays and this is the first chance I've had to
re-run the tests on the same computer. I applied the
john-1.7.4-jumbo-5.diff patch to the base 1.7.4 install, (I used the
jumbo patch since I'm updating the install documentation), and reran
the tests using the same wordlist/ruleset that I used previously. Here
are the results:

Analysis: It appears that the bug has been fixed. In addition, it ran
significantly faster this time, (shaving a full 10 minutes off the
running time). While I wasn't running any additional programs during
any of the tests, I don't know if this was due to my computer, the
changes made in the update, or applying the jumbo patch vs. the base
install. Regardless, it's now almost twice as fast as version 1.7.3.4
when comparing guess generation speed.
