Out of these, when using JtR you'd currently crack all but mscash2 on
CPU.  mscash2 is slow enough to be efficient on GPU with current JtR
code (and it's actually on par with hashcat on GPU).  The rest are way
too fast, so without on-GPU candidate password generation (which we
mostly don't have, with the exception below) there's no speedup from
using a GPU.

As an exception Sayantan's bleeding-mask branch includes mask mode
support on GPU for some fast hashes.  If you like, you may experiment
with this.  It'd achieve reasonable GPU speeds for a few fast hash
types, but in mask mode only.
