Given the iteration counts and the speeds you report below, the above is
probably misreporting. I suggest you install AMD's tools to monitor GPU
utilization and temperatures. You should also be able to notice high
utilization through the noise and heat the GPU cards produce.

These are reasonable, and might in fact correspond to speeds like those
you report. I just ran a test on the Vega 64 with iteration count of
around 172k, and it's producing a little over 10400 c/s. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Radeon_RX_500_series
RX 580 should be about twice slower than Vega 64, and you mention you
have higher iteration counts too.

That's weird. I don't recall us having different default verbosity
level on Windows.

It's right in there in doc/OPTIONS (including in 1.9.0-jumbo-1):
--verbosity=N change verbosity
Make John more verbose, or less verbose. Default level is 3. For example,
level 2 will mute the extra messages (device, work sizes etc) printed by
OpenCL formats and level 1 will mute printing of cracked passwords to screen.
You can use "-v=5" for maximum verbosity.

It's interesting your two GPUs produce different speeds. Assuming none
of the hashes got cracked so far and the GPUs are identical, this could
be because of different auto-tuning (the LWS and GWS figures) or it
could be because of worse cooling for one of the GPUs.
