Same here.

That's weird. All combinations work for me with gcc 4.5.0. I've just
re-tested with the exact john-1.7.5-des-intrinsics-1.diff.gz that I posted.
BTW, there are even more combinations to try - there's also the MM
setting. It lets you choose SSE2+MMX vs. SSE2+native.

On a Core i7 920 2.67 GHz with gcc 4.5.0, I am getting:
Vanilla 1.7.5 (x86-64.S code):
Many salts: 2540K c/s real, 2540K c/s virtual
Only one salt: 2192K c/s real, 2192K c/s virtual
SSE2 intrinsics (DES_BS_VECTOR = 2):
Many salts: 2620K c/s real, 2620K c/s virtual
Only one salt: 2287K c/s real, 2287K c/s virtual
This is with the exact code I posted (only x86-64.h edited).
Other settings (the #define's in x86-64.h and DES_bs_b.c) result in
speeds from 1600K to 2100K.

Oh, I'd say that all of them perform surprisingly well on this test.
Thanks,
