I have now also accelerated cracking of keys which use 3DES encryption
(using same trick as used in AES).

Initial benchmarks were a bit conservative, new figures,

(OMP results on AMD X3 720)

So far, I haven't been able to find false positives (although they can
occur) using the attached code.

It also cracks all CMIYC and ssh-key-collection.tar.bz2 files with no problems.
