I am still trying to come up with a description of the changes in
1.7.9-jumbo-5 vs. 1.7.8-jumbo-8. Here's what relbench sees (non-OpenMP,
linux-x86-64i, the older version is "file 1"):
Only in file 1: Netscape LDAP SSHA:Only one salt
Only in file 1: PIX MD5:Raw
Only in file 1: dynamic_1008 md5($p.$s) [joomla]:Only one salt
Only in file 1: dynamic_1008 md5($p.$s) [joomla]:Many salts
Only in file 1: OpenLDAP SSHA:Many salts
Only in file 1: Netscape LDAP SSHA:Many salts
Only in file 1: OpenLDAP SSHA:Only one salt
Only in file 2: Raw SHA:Raw

Geometric standard deviation: 1.33332 real, 1.33278 virtual
I need some explanation on what has replaced the old dynamic_1008
(Joomla) and the SSHA formats.
Also, someone could want to identify the format that became 18% slower
and see if this is reproducible and if it can be avoided (in a future
version).
Thanks,
Alexander
