Could you clarify this concern? I did not observe an attempt by Libgcrypt to obtain entropy at startup and neither did it consume entropy during decryption. So the contribution to wall-clock time should be (near) zero. How would this affect CPU time? Or maybe I am misunderstanding your question? -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
