You consider 12.5 c/s to be "working fine" despite the speed? You do not believe the driver is the cause of such inefficiency?

Without pocl
./run/john --test --format=opencl --force-scalar
Device 1@...i: Mali-T860
Benchmarking: sha1crypt-opencl, (NetBSD) [PBKDF1-SHA1 OpenCL]... DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 64000 and 40000
Raw: 112 c/s real, 6400 c/s virtual
With pocl, my CPU appears as a device.
Device 1@...i: Mali-T860
Benchmarking: sha1crypt-opencl, (NetBSD) [PBKDF1-SHA1 OpenCL]... DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 64000 and 40000
Raw: 113 c/s real, 8533 c/s virtual
I do not know why I am seeing 112/113 now, but saw only 12 earlier.
The CPU outperforms the GPU.
../run/john --test --format=sha1crypt
Will run 6 OpenMP threads
Benchmarking: sha1crypt, NetBSD's sha1crypt [PBKDF1-SHA1 128/128 ASIMD 4x]... (6xOMP) DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 64000 and 40000
Raw: 234 c/s real, 48.1 c/s virtual
Shouldn't the results be vice-versa, with the GPU outperforming the CPU?
(Redundant with question prior.) Could the runtime/driver for the GPU somehow cause such a low c/s?

As far as I can tell, I have a choice: Mali drivers for opencl
dpkg -l |grep opencl
ii ocl-icd-libopencl1:arm64 2.2.11-1 arm64 Generic OpenCL ICD Loader
ii opencl-c-headers 2.1-1 all OpenCL (Open Computing Language) C header files
dpkg -l |grep mali
ii liblognorm5:arm64 2.0.1-1.1+b1 arm64 log normalizing library
ii libmnl0:arm64 1.0.4-2 arm64 minimalistic Netlink communication library
ii rockchip-mali-midgard-dev 1.6-1 arm64 This package provides the development environment for compiling
ii rockchip-mali-midgard14 1.6-1 arm64 The ARM Mali™ library for Rockchip serial.
or pocl (from debian buster, the "experimental") version. I will try the "unstable" version of pocl and run JtR with and without Mali drivers.
