How do you determine if it's insanely high or not? For some hash types
and cost settings (encoded with the hash), anything higher than 1 is
unreasonable. For others, 1000000 may be sane. It really varies a lot.
In this case, it's 15360 per MIC core, and the hash type is potentially
slow - depends on cost setting of a particular hash. If the hash uses,
say, 10000 iterations, you're computing 300+ million of SHA-256's per
crypt_all() code. (It's two invocations of the underlying primitive per
one HMAC.) Since individual MIC cores are quite slow, this certainly
can be taking multiple seconds. With self-test, it's multiple
crypt_all() calls (most of them with count < max_keys_per_crypt, though)
until the program does anything useful.

And what exactly is in hash.sha256?
