Thanks for the prompt response.
Shortly after I sent the message, it occurred to me that TrueCrack's 15
p/s might be for just one thread, too.
The screenshot you have at http://16s.us/TCHead/ shows Serpent and
Whirlpool instead of RIPEMD-160 and AES, which are apparently the
default. Is this just to show that TCHead supports non-default settings
as well? Is the 50 p/s speed for RIPEMD-160 and AES (thus directly
comparable to TrueCrack's)?
