That's fine. Like I said, you may obtain some speedup by going with
jumbo, but you don't have to.

Most likely, no. You might find OpenMP more convenient (just one status
line instead of a line per core, etc.)

You don't have to specify OMP_NUM_THREADS explicitly, unless there is a
specific reason to do so. You just run "./john passwd" (when you're in
the run directory).

P.S. You happened to start a new thread with your reply, instead of
replying to the existing thread. (This makes a difference e.g. for
those browsing the web-based archives of the list.) Perhaps this
happened because you used the "forward" feature in your e-mail client,
instead of "reply". Please use "reply" when replying.
Also, if you don't mind, please quote inline rather than top-post:
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/mail-news-errors.html
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
Finally, you might want to reconfigure your e-mail client to wrap lines
at a length like 72. You're now wrapping at a 100-something length.
I understand that not everyone is familiar with mailing list etiquette,
especially these days, hence I occasionally include bits of friendly
advice like this.
