Hi! I do realize that I'm concentrating on wrong matters (after all, blowfish is never used by SSL applications), but I couldn't abstain from commenting:-) First of I fail to understand why #define BF_PTR2 would perform better than the last "generic" version. The one that performs best on Alpha: ( S[ (int)(R>>24L) ] + \ S[0x0100+((int)(R>>16L)&0xff)])^ \ S[0x0200+((int)(R>> 8L)&0xff)])+ \ S[0x0300+((int)(R )&0xff)]) Intel does have instructions that "multiply" array index by 4 at no cost... So that latter *should* generate better code. And.............. it does:-) #undef BF_PTR* performs at least 25% faster on Intel! Yeah, I know there is assembler implementation provided. As I said I just couldn't abstain...
