another suggestion: you could try openssl 0.9.9 (devel) with the montgomery multiplier acceleration to speed up some of the rsa/dsa ops: openssl engine padlock (padlock) VIA PadLock: RNG (not used) ACE2 PHE(8192) PMM PHE is the sha1 padlock hash engine PMM is the MONTMULT accel best regards, .. any further discussion down this tangent should probably be taken off list for brevity. let me know directly if you're still having trouble with the hardware throughput.
