Yes, that's the way i've done the setup Tor+OpenSSL:

cd
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes install
checkinstall build-essential
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes build-dep
openssl
sudo rm -rf ~/openssl
git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
cd openssl
sudo ./config
sudo make
sudo make test
sudo checkinstall
sudo rm -rf ~/openssl
sudo mv /usr/bin/c_rehash /usr/bin/c_rehashBACKUP
sudo mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/opensslBACKUP
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssl/bin/c_rehash /usr/bin/c_rehash
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
openssl version
apt-cache show openssl

root@dedi-fr-23644:~# openssl engine padlock

# Tor
apt-get install libevent-dev
wget https://www.torproject.org/dist/tor-0.2.8.1-alpha.tar.gz

cd tor-0.2.8.1-alpha

apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
./configure --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl --enable-static-openssl
make
make install

mv /usr/bin/tor /usr/bin/tor.orig
ln -s /etc/tor/torrc /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc

Yes

It means that the padlock is doing it's job in making crypto  acceleration.

That's the point, i want to measure how the padlock hw accel is
performing, to understand if it does hit it's limits or not.

I think that we need to find a way
