Apparently, hashcat's speed is ~500k on HD 7970.  hashkill is at ~480k:

We're getting 355k:

    Unrolled as requested!

(The match of OpenCL and CUDA speed is curious.  I did not tune THREADS
and BLOCKS in cuda_pwsafe.h, and was compiling for the default of sm_10.
Perhaps better speed is possible with some tuning.)
