You are right, john-omp is working as expected. I see a 25% CPU use in
the Task Manager and think i john was using only one core. More info
by Resource Monitor (happen the same with jumbo and non jumbo
version):

When using 2 threads there is 2 cores (logical cores) with 0% use, 1
with 25% and other with 75%.
When using 4 threads there is 2 cores (logical cores) with 0% use and
the other 2 with 50%.

I review all the process of benchmarking and found my reported
performance accurate. Here is john -test:

>..\john.exe -test --format:nt
Benchmarking: NT MD4 [128/128 SSE2 + 32/32]... DONE
Raw:    18412K c/s real, 18412K c/s virtual

Benchmarking: NT v2 [SSE2i 12x]... DONE
Raw:    21509K c/s real, 21509K c/s virtual

Many salts:     14939K c/s real, 14939K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  5845K c/s real, 5845K c/s virtual
