Sorry for late reply, the post I was thinking off (and didn't revise before posting) is http://www.openwall.com/lists/crypt-dev/2012/09/02/1

Thanks - that's actually the post I was thinking of. Considering on most modern machines scrypt will likely tune itself to use 512MB, a 1MB buffer's pretty small, but it would be interesting to know where the cutoff for significantly-better-than-bcrypt might be. I expect most sites could throw 16MB at logins without much difficulty (as suggested further in that thread).
