These look reasonable to me.  As discussed before, OpenMP
parallelization for LM hashes is currently very inefficient.

With --format=nt, there's no OpenMP parallelization at all.  With
--format=nt2, there's an attempt at it, but it's even worse than LM's.

OK.  (I think you lost a "K" on the last line, though.)

OK.

You mean, between MPI and no parallelization.

I see that you did so now - thanks! - but I'd also like to see the more
relevant MD5-crypt and bcrypt results - can you please add those as well?
(I say that they are more relevant because they actually have reasonable
OpenMP parallelization efficiency, unlike LM with its known poor
efficiency and NT with its lack of OpenMP parallelization.  Another
reason is that it is more realistic to have strong passwords with them,
hence auditing them is more reasonable.)

Meanwhile, a friend sent me benchmark results for 4x X7560 (64 threads),
which I've just added to the wiki:

http://openwall.info/wiki/john/benchmarks

The best ones are (for clean 1.7.9, no jumbo):

GOMP_SPINCOUNT=1000000:

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     73098K c/s real, 1142K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  26699K c/s real, 416956 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [32/64 X2]... DONE
Raw:    344603 c/s real, 5385 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: OpenBSD Blowfish (x32) [32/64 X2]... DONE
Raw:    23500 c/s real, 367 c/s virtual

OMP_NUM_THREADS=32

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:     61675K c/s real, 1927K c/s virtual
Only one salt:  31241K c/s real, 976342 c/s virtual

I am also asking him for similar results for -jumbo-5 built as -x86-64i
(should have much better FreeBSD MD5 speed).
