Yes I figured I should try that. In NT2 there is a BLOCK_LOOPS macro that is a multiplier for SIMD number of keys. That was for OMP experiments but same code can be used for a single thread loop. BTW we can actually get up to ~80M for NT2 with 2xOMP but I haven't had any success in making it ready for production use: Only hardcoded values will work. As soon as I turn any of it into run-time variables, the overhead eats the gain. This can probably be worked out. And this should apply to NTLMv1 and MSCHAPv2 too.
