Just FYI, I just sic'ed an UltraSparc 2 running Solaris (as debian@debian.org)
on this.
Here's the output of -m:
rc5-56-client: Performance testing with 1000000 crypts
rc5-56-client: Complete in 6.819 seconds. (146650.34 keys/sec)
I hope this helps somewhat...but could you explain the "-socks5" part to
me?
I'm also going to try to get about 2 dozen ancient old Sparc IPC's and
Sparc 1's on the job. They don't do much these days anyway.
