I compiled this on linux-x86-64 with gcc 4.3.1 after some trivial
changes (patch attached).

What version of gcc is that?  I am not getting results this poor on
x86-64 with gcc 4.3.1.  Indeed, it is possible that gcc's shortcomings
manifest themselves in a worse way when fewer registers are available.

Here's what I am getting:

Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0 GHz
old code: 8970 c/s
4x: 7060
8x: 4500
12x: 5100
16x: 5100
20x: 5020

Q6600 2.4 GHz (one core):
old code: 10200 c/s
4x: 14844
8x: 9592
12x: 9374
16x: 3200
20x: 3100

So even with gcc there's an improvement on Core 2, but only when no
extra parallelism is introduced (beyond "one instance" of SSE2).

This time all 5 builds actually crack all of my 120 test hashes.

Thanks,

Alexander
