I keep keys count for descrypt way below optimal to avoid this problem. If we double the number of keys ,it takes forever to initialize the databases. So it would be better if we could just initialize the databases for 160 keys and not 40960 keys.
Either your MUA is broken, or mine is - one can't tell the quotes from your replies. Anyway, 40960 was obviously just an example and my point is that autotuning will come up with a figure suitable for keys *with* masks. You can of course override autotuning, using GWS environment variable or other means. We might want to eventually autotune using mask mode but that is for later.

Eventually, the self-tests will need to use mask mode but they currently don't. If you like to spend time on this early on, fine with me. It might be trivial once you have the format's stuff in place.
