Re: john and multicore
Certainly, but if john is eable to run from another point (i.e another dictionary) is posible to run a second instance of the program from another point and really do parallel process...

Well sure, but if its not written to do that, they you have to rewrite it to do so. You have access to the source. Go for it.
