This is appreciated, thank you!

I suggest that you (and others) generate patches to JtR according to
these conventions:
http://openwall.info/wiki/how-to-make-patches
It should be possible to apply properly generated patches by following
these instructions:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/how-to-extract-tarballs-and-apply-patches
Also, why don't you start uploading patches to the wiki? -
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/patches
Either way, your patch is a candidate for inclusion in the next revision
of the jumbo patch.

These tests are affected by the fact that JtR is still in "single crack"
mode. In this mode, the effective c/s rate depends on a lot of things
besides raw hashing performance. I suggest that you use "incremental"
mode instead and let it run for at least 1 minute (or set MinLen and
MaxLen to the same value). Also, you could want to have fewer passwords
cracked during your benchmarking run, because processing successful
guesses involves some overhead.

This must be specific to your set of (fake?) hashes and cracking mode
used. With real-world samples of hashes, the effective c/s rate should
increase as you load more hashes for cracking.
Thanks again,
