It it probably recognising it and you don't realise it. OpenSSL 1.0.1 automatically switches to AES-NI at the EVP level without going through an explicit AES-NI ENGINE. You can disable AES-NI detection with the environment variable: OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x200000200000000 You should see a considerable speed up with "openssl speed" by comparing the two.
