I'm not sure if you fully understand this post
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-dev/2015/08/14/42
on super, john computes gws, 1024 is the best, it prints:
Local worksize (LWS) 64, global worksize (GWS) 1024
but actually 256 is set and these coputations are for GWS=256, if you
specify GWS=1024 speed is better and really for GWS=1024
for argon2d is similar problem but it's not so bad : GWS isn't equal
to 256 but it's between 512 and 1024

this shows that there is a bug in auto tune or in my configuration (
but if there is a bug in my configuration there is also in auto tune,
even if I configured something wrong john shouldn't show that GWS=1024
when GWS=256)
but I don't have this problem on my laptop (another or it's just only
that first call of crypt_all() is just slower)
