Thank you!

I've just tested on FX-8120, and I am seeing a similar difference:
Old:
Benchmarking: Password Safe SHA-256 [32/64 OpenSSL]... (8xOMP) DONE
Raw: 6857 c/s real, 854 c/s virtual
New:
Benchmarking: Password Safe SHA-256 [32/64 OpenSSL]... (8xOMP) DONE
Raw: 8309 c/s real, 1041 c/s virtual
BTW, the " OpenSSL" comment is now wrong and should be removed.
Meanwhile, here's a tweet by atom:
<hashcat> Added kernel for cracking "Passwords Safe" container to hashcat and oclHashcat! Its faster than one would expect: hd7970: 501k, FX8120: 24k
24k is great, but not surprising - it only means that atom actually has
SIMD code for SHA-256, unlike us. We need to implement it. At this
time, we have SIMD code for MD4, MD5, SHA-1, but not yet for SHA-256 and
SHA-512. We have an unclaimed task here:
http://openwall.info/wiki/ideas#Tasks1
(OK, the description is out of date, now that hashcat clearly has SIMD
implementation of at least SHA-256, and perhaps also SHA-512.)
As to HD 7970, here's our current speed:
$ ./john -te -fo=pwsafe-opencl -pla=1
OpenCL platform 1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, 2 device(s).
Device 0: Tahiti (AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series)
Local worksize (LWS) 64, Global worksize (GWS) 57344
Benchmarking: Password Safe SHA-256 [OpenCL]... DONE
Raw: 353975 c/s real, 17203K c/s virtual
hashcat's is better, too (354k vs. 501k). Lukas?
