Yes, OpenMP parallelization efficiency is very poor for fast hashes, and
especially on Windows. It is mostly meant for slow(er) hashes currently -
e.g., we're getting nearly 100% efficiency at bcrypt, but obviously it
is irrelevant for your benchmarks vs. Hash Suite currently.
What c/s rates are you getting for these tests, though? I am interested
in both --test and actual runs.

OK.
I thought the speed at LM would be higher on your CPU, but it seems not.
I am getting 40M c/s on a several years older 2.5 GHz CPU (no OpenMP),
but that's with a 64-bit build.
Thanks,
