Subject: meaning of p/s, c/s and C/s

Hello,

I've read the FAQ about the meaning of the status line, but I think I need a bit more info. 
I'm running a john session with --fork=4 ans --mask=[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9] that yields to this kind of status lines:

1 0g 0:00:02:16  (8) 0g/s 933.4p/s 3819Kc/s 29306KC/s yoHaaaaa..BqHaaaaa
2 0g 0:00:02:16  (8) 0g/s 937.1p/s 3835Kc/s 29425KC/s OwHaaaFp..RyHaaaFp
3 0g 0:00:02:16  (8) 0g/s 935.3p/s 3829Kc/s 29386KC/s GsHaaaaF..JuHaaaaF
4 0g 0:00:02:16  (8) 0g/s 960.6p/s 3933Kc/s 30182KC/s qmIaaaFU..toIaaaFU

I'm targeting 31394 passwords (traditional crypt(3) [DES 128/128 AVX-16]), with 4092 different salts.

So if I get it correctly: 
- john is testing about 940 passwords per second for each forked process.
- john is computing about 3850000 hashes per second for each forked process, it should be equal to (number of salts)*(p/s): non-salted hashes should give same number for p/s and c/s.
- many passwords are sharing the same salt, so every hash computed can be tested against ~ 31394/4092 passwords. C/s is then equal to (p/s)*(remaining number of passwords), or (c/s)*(number of passwords)/(number of salts).

And, according to the poor rate of ~940 passwords per second, and the mask covering a 62^8 space, I'll be finished in 1871 years.

is that correct?

thanks,
pat
