It doesn't make sense to mention c/s rates without providing further
detail. What hash type? Is it a --test benchmark or an actual cracking
run? In the latter case, how many hashes and different salts? These
things affect the effective c/s rate heavily.

If this applies to the "Traditional DES" / "Many salts" benchmark, which
is arguably the most essential one for JtR, then a rate of 1.6M c/s can
be achieved on a single PowerPC G5 at 2.7 GHz (with AltiVec). P4 at
around 3 GHz can achieve somewhere up to 1M c/s, too, with the SSE2 code
in JtR 1.7.2+.

No, it is not. Moreover, I had previously mentioned why multi-threading
is likely not the best way to parallelize John:
