First off, look carefully I think that you will find that it is 500K
keys/sec _per_ cpu, which still adds upto 1Mkey/s. You need a mid range
(400+) or faster P2 to touch 1M key/s for a single CPU.
On my Dual PPro 200/256k the log says:
Completed one RC5 packet D6D457F9:A0000000 (6*2^28 keys)
0.00:48:47.78 - [550,112.36 keys/sec]
^^^^^^^^^^ Thats one block finnished
Summary: 238 RC5 packets 3.10:00:50.51 - [1.02 Mkeys/s]
^^^^^ Thats it flushing to the
network and summarising the total run of blocks
You also might want to put in the latest build: dnetc446-linux-x86-glibc2.tar.gz
