This appears to be a development snapshot of gcc 4.5 that is several
months older than the 4.5.0 release. That's OK.

These mostly look good to me. Two problems are: the mysterious slowdown
at "many salts" with the new key setup patch and the lack of a speedup
with attempted parallelization of LM hashes (need more than two cores to
see any speedup). None of this is a surprise to me - I saw similar
results on other systems. Other than that, the new key setup works
great, speeding up LM hashes a lot and allowing for parallelization for
DES-based crypt(3) hashes in the single-salt case.
It is helpful to know that this code builds and works on Mac OS X (I had
only tested it on Linux), and that similar relative performance numbers
are seen.
Thank you!
