you can verify which cpu optimizations are enabled either when running
openconnect or gnutls-cli benchmark by exporting GNUTLS_DEBUG_LEVEL=3
prior to running it. You'll see something like:

gnutls[2]: Enabled GnuTLS 3.6.7 logging...
gnutls[2]: getrandom random generator was detected
gnutls[2]: Intel SSSE3 was detected
gnutls[2]: Intel AES accelerator was detected
gnutls[2]: Intel GCM accelerator (AVX) was detected
