This is to be expected for the JtR version you're using, but you should
use 1.8.0-jumbo-1 instead and either run it with --fork=8 or build it
with OpenMP support (in fact, it builds with OpenMP support by default,
but --fork=8 is slightly faster if your system has any other load).
You should expect around 2000 c/s on this CPU, with OpenMP or as
cumulative speed for the 8 fork'ed processes.
c/s is not "characters per second", it is more like "combinations per
second" (of password and hash) or "crypt()s per second".
