Yep!
I'd love to find info to compare that to the capabilities of a
handheld portabe device.
About the only change has been the amount of cycles available for BFI
(now everyone has massive BFI--no Cray needed!)
I guess you could argue that the SSE/MMX (SIMD) extensions bring a lot
of vector capabilities of a Cray to a desktop...

Decryption of the standard UNIX crypt() function is not possible by

Having worked with Unix systems since 1983, I knew that. But I thought
maybe someone has figured out how to crack them.
And the standard UNIX password encryption (the "weak" one, not /etc/
shadow) took 1 second to execute on a VAX 11/780... An intel Q6700
can do 8.8M crypt()'s per second, and a PS/3 can do 11.1M...
Sure shows how things have progressed, doesn't it?
