...except that there's no OpenMP support for raw-md5 currently, so it
will only use 1 thread regardless of OMP_NUM_THREADS. Oh, and
OMP_NUM_THREAD was a typo (should be OMP_NUM_THREADS). A better example
would be:
OMP_NUM_THREADS=3 ./john -te=1 -fo=des
Also, GOMP_SPINCOUNT may need to be tuned on a particular system.
I recommend testing these values: 10000, 100000, 300000 (gcc 4.6.0+
default), 3000000, 10000000. No need to fine-tune it, so testing these
5 values should be enough.
