Problem is that there 15k of the same hashes. So when johnny calls
`john -show` it gets 15k of pairs nothing:doubleemptylmhash, then for
each pair it goes over 15k rows in the table and writes empty string
(password) there. So we get 15k*15k = 225M table operations, it is
just slow. I fixed that. Now hashes are removed from table index after
first filling. So password is written only once (to all rows with
respective hash).
I see its implication onto case when 1 hash could have 2 different
passwords. In any case it would not work as it was before. It is a
problem for the future.

It is not always obvious. But for package users it should natural. I
removed message on start-up.
Frank, are you ok with such change?
Then I'd like to add something like message on every john invocation
indicating that default settings is used (of course with checkbox "do
not show this again" available).

I replaced "John" with "John the Ripper" in both modified strings.
Changes were pushed. Currently I am going to rebuild, repackage and
retest everything.
Thanks!
