Maybe you should make your dynamic_1011 the new dynamic_1010 instead,
when you commit this? That is, have just one dynamic format for RAdmin.

Maybe we need to support something like:
Func=DynamicFunc__set_input_len(100)

Perhaps the same applies to _64 as well?

Sure. It's this way for many of the fast hashes for which we have
OpenMP support in jumbo. Personally, I wouldn't use this kind of
parallelization except maybe for really quick tests where I'm lazy to do
anything smarter and when I have the machine to waste anyway.
BTW, note that this is not a true 8-core machine (it's Bulldozer with
its 4 modules and 2 cores per module; also it reduces clock rate from
4.0 GHz to 3.1 GHz or maybe slightly higher when under full load), so
the perfect speedup would be about 6x. Thus, 3x is "only" twice worse
than perfect.

I thought dynamic didn't support OpenMP at all. Is this changing?
That would be very nice, especially for phpass.
On a related note, you could want to see if SIP is implementable as a
dynamic too. I think it might be.
