Sounds cool. You got to start contributing to JtR more directly. ;-)

Oh, you use explicit asm, not intrinsics? Does XOP even offer
bit-select instructions for XMM registers? I thought it only added
VPCMOV, which operates on YMM registers. Or do you mix XMM/YMM?

Maybe you unrolled the loop too much and it doesn't fit in L1 cache?
With inlined S-boxes, we're only able to unroll 2 rounds (so we get 8
loop iterations per DES block encryption).
