Greetings. I want to use "openssl speed" as a very loose proxy for "how fast is this CPU right
now". (Note the use of the word "very" there.) I also want to test systems that are running in
VMs. However, if I'm comparing across CPU families, OpenSSL might have some optimizations for some algorithms
(like AES) that work better or worse depending on the features of the CPU.
If I were to pick one algorithm that is least likely to be optimized past
normal C optimization, which would it be?
Paul, if you build OpenSSL with the "no-asm" configuration option,
presumably none of the algorithms will be optimized past normal C
optimization. Does this help?
