What size of key pair? Do they need to be secure or would any set of key pairs do? What kind of length of time do you need to sustain this rate? What's the intended purpose of the keypairs? If you don't have to use RSA then other public key algorithms could be used which have must quicker key generation times. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
