I probably recall incorrectly. I guess we never integrated the faster
code into jumbo - it still uses pretty ancient escrypt-lite. We should
update to latest yescrypt code (although I have yet to finalize the
string encoding for yescrypt native hashes).
I've just tested yescrypt-0.7.1 and yescrypt-0.8.1 by editing their
userom.c to use "#define YESCRYPT_FLAGS 0" (requests classic scrypt) and
running "GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-31 ./userom 0 16". Both reported 926 c/s
with gcc 4.9.1. Going back to RHEL6's default gcc 4.4.7 gives 945 c/s.
Availability of huge pages may also make a difference
(yescrypt-platform.c currently has HUGEPAGE_THRESHOLD at 12 MiB), but
I've just tried allocating them with sysctl and it didn't change the
numbers above on this machine.
I think I saw 960 c/s for some other revision, but I can't find it now.
