Subject: Re: Re: [JtR PATCH] Support rar's -p mode by spawning
external unrar process.
I've done that in my project (accomodating code from unrar).
It's just evil. Not that bad on CPUs because setcryptkeys is the real big
bottleneck there, but on GPUs speed can get 10 times or even slower as
compared to -hp mode. I also know your work on ZIP, borrowed the idea from
you if you don't mind :) But in reality, RAR is worse. Statistically, for a
~300KB file in archive, somewhat ~60-70% of the candidates do decompress
without an error until they get ruled out by the crc check. It's bad.
Funny thing I found experimentally is that AES decryption is the bigger
problem in my code (I use OpenSSL's routines). I am really thinking of some
way to do that on GPUs for the first chunk read, but again that's not very
much useful. I guess a fast, AES-NI accelerated decryption routine would
probably make some difference.
I also do some prebuffering in case archived file is small enough, but that
does not bring much difference (contrary to what I expected).
