    Have you looked at the licensing model? We were using it for $300 bucks to
    crack passwords on a monthly basis. Now it has a distributed version that
    you can install on multiple small machines to speed it up but you have to
    pay for each unit as a fresh install! Even though the software has gotten
    much slower.

    I've noticed the same thing.  Same machine running 2.x would crack the
    username=password in under 5 seconds, now it is upward of 30.  The
    dictionary attack, which used to take under a couple minutes is now pushing
    20+.  I don't know when I'll have time to investigate, but I'm John is
    looking better everyday.
