This JavaScript version: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=715014 (which doesn't do any throttling) is doing ~1500 hashes per second in one Chrome tab on my fairly old (2.8 GHz Pentium D) desktop. I'm curious how fast it would be on your Core 2 Duo in two Chrome tabs.

I think GPU's are going to win this "Yeah, my 5 GPUs are currently cranking at a total rate of 800 M/sec" they are are already looking at the low 30's.
