Have you also tried e.g. staying just one core's worth (8 threads) below
the maximum? And things like GOMP_SPINCOUNT=10000 and
GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-155 (or whatever is the full range of logical CPU
numbers). Of course, these things only make sense if the system is
otherwise idle. If you can actually see where other load comes from,
then you need to reduce your use of the cores accordingly.

That comment of mine only applied to your "There's no significant change
on Altivec" - thus, it didn't apply to ZedBoard.

Oh, OK. MD5_I is also implementable with XNOR, but I think AltiVec
lacks that too. That's not a big deal since it has bitselect.
