How do these speeds compare to CPU?  Your current CPU implementation is
still SIMD-less, correct?

"parallel SHA-512 [ ]" and "Speed for cost 1 (N)" look weird.

magnum, what's jumbo's current convention on format names (not labels)
and on algorithm names?  What should be reported in this case?

Agnieszka, I guess calling Parallel's cost parameter "N" got inherited
from scrypt or something.  Would you rename it?  In fact, would you
perhaps have JtR report Parallel's parallel and sequential (aka upgrade)
costs as two separate cost parameters?
