You may be surprised at just how fast a Java implementation could be. I did
essentially the same thing for the distributed.net RC5-64 effort (see
http://www.hewgill.com/rc5/). It turned out that the Java decryption routine,
with a JIT compiler, could reach 25% of the speed of a hand optimized assembler
decryption routine.
