Subject: Re: AES Bitslice and the PS3 MD5 cracking.
I've exchanged some e-mails with Nick Breese, and here's what I learned:

Nick told me that he updated his slides at the conference, however the
revision available on blackhat.com was/is an older one - not what was
actually presented. (I expect that it will get updated soon.)
Here's the actual Black Hat presentation:
http://www.security-assessment.com/files/presentations/crackstation-njb-bheu08-v2.pdf
SHA1(crackstation-njb-bheu08-v2.pdf) = a097aeecfc45426ea55d8610fa25c6a506d7cfd4
Please refer to pages 46 and 47. As you can see, this currently claims
"only" 80 million of MD5 hash calculations per second, and the reason
for the previous incorrect claims of 1.4 to 1.9 billion hashes per
second was a compiler optimization. (My guesses: code moved out of the
loop or code dropped because the calculation results were not being used.)
