1The 'times' in this directory are not all for the most recent version of
2the library and it should be noted that on some CPUs (specifically sparc
3and Alpha), the locations of files in the application after linking can
4make upto a %10 speed difference when running benchmarks on things like
5cbc mode DES.  To put it mildly this can be very anoying.

7About the only way to get around this would be to compile the library as one
8object file, or to 'include' the source files in a specific order.

10The best way to get an idea of the 'raw' DES speed is to build the
11'speed' program in crypto/des.
