Having looked at various implementations of crypt() and crypt_r(), I can't think of a reason why there would be any significant difference in performance. On systems like FreeBSD, crypt() is just a simple wrapper around crypt_r(): https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libcrypt/crypt.c?view=markup#l134 If there would be any difference in performance, it would also be astronomically small compared to the computation time spent by the cryptographic hash functions themselves.
