    Benchmarking: FreeBSD MD5 [32/32]... DONE
    Raw: 4205 c/s real, 4455 c/s virtual

    Thats on an Athlon XP 1800+, which is running at ~1500MHz.

    When I'm cracking passwords that I suspect of being abnormally hard to
    crack, I do my best to tweak my John run(s) accordingly. i.e., on
    solaris I'll make the max password length 8 and the minimum something
    like, oh, 6 or whatever local restrictions might be in place. I've also
    had good results running 3 incremental cracks at once (on the same
    machine if 4 processors are available, otherwise on 3 different
    machines), using the "All", "Alpha" and "Digits" incremental cracks.

    17 days is quite a long time, but keep going.
