It works very slightly better with 10x increase:

	self->params.max_keys_per_crypt *= 10;

15x provides no further improvement here.  Not multiples of 5 are worse,
because:

CRK_PREFETCH of 64 turned out to be about optimal, although 60 might be
very slightly better for this format and this build (would be 60+60
rather than 64+56).
