The speed at raw-* on GPU is unimportant - they're way too slow until we
generate candidate passwords on GPU anyway. Not for actual use yet,
even with a 3x speedup, except maybe if one has only a tiny GPU and an
even smaller CPU anyway.

For these, it matters. For des-opencl, I've been testing 4 independent
processes (e.g. for different password lengths), which brings the
combined speed to around 60M c/s running against one descrypt hash on
7970. This is still far from perfect (the target speed is a few hundred
million c/s), but it's a 3x improvement over CPU, so it makes sense for
some uses.
