It's just different implementations/code paths. The dynamic format is 
really one single format that can do many algos and combinations of 
algos. It can do raw too, so lists them. Sometimes they differ in max. 
length. Many years ago, dynamic would even do them faster in some builds 
but nowadays (especially on Intel stuff) the dedicated formats are 
usually faster.

Moreover, we now also have the "dynamic compiler" formats that are even 
more generic (so even less optimized but OTOH very flexible).

$ ../run/john -test -form:dynamic='md5($p)'
Benchmarking: dynamic=md5($p) [128/128 AVX 4x3]... DONE
Raw:	28168K c/s real, 27889K c/s virtual

$ ../run/john -test -form:dynamic_0
Benchmarking: dynamic_0 [md5($p) (raw-md5) 128/128 AVX 4x3]... DONE
Raw:	32558K c/s real, 32884K c/s virtual

$ ../run/john -test -form:raw-md5
Benchmarking: Raw-MD5 [MD5 128/128 AVX 4x3]... DONE
Raw:	38750K c/s real, 38750K c/s virtual
