Thanks! I made some further optimizations, mostly trivial stuff. With
this, the speed on FX-8120 with OpenMP is 11M c/s. Patch attached.
In -hotcold.diff, also attached, I tried changing crypt_key from the
current separate 8 regions (unnecessary complexity and pressure on the
caches and TLB) to just 2, hot and cold - but somehow this did not speed
things up on two machines (FX-8120 and 2xE5649). Hence separate patch.
When optimizing this for real, I think the cold portion should be gone
completely, and instead cmp_exact() should recompute the SHA-512 hash
when needed (rarely). Also, we should precompute pieces of the first
few steps, and skip the last few (perhaps 3), and revert a few before
those. For reuse in iterated formats based on SHA-512, we need the full
implementation as well, though.
