This is a nice improvement compared to your initial try.  It's CPU-like
speed now (comparing CPU vs. GPU per-chip), except that the program is
less interactive than it is when using CPU.

To see the speed of the hashing loop on GPU alone, I've tried running
this with 2501 iterations (and my special test hash).  I got:

Raw:    410401 c/s real, 209715K c/s virtual

(no single-salt vs. multi-salt since I only had one test hash, and thus
one test salt).

So that's about 41M c/s at 25 iterations if you somehow manage to remove
the overhead.  In other words, the overhead still corresponds to about
50% of total running time.

Thanks,

Alexander
