The reason for the low keyrate at distributed.net's RC5-64-cracking
is that most of the clients are working on "The RSA DES challenge II"
because this is a timed contest. After this key is found the clients
will work on RC5-64 again.

Current stats of DES-II: 53% of Keyspace checked after 30 days,
Overall Rate 15289198 kkeys/sec (from distributed.net Statistics
Page).
