1*ebfedea0SLionel SambucThe 'times' in this directory are not all for the most recent version of 2*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucthe library and it should be noted that on some CPUs (specifically sparc 3*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucand Alpha), the locations of files in the application after linking can 4*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucmake upto a %10 speed difference when running benchmarks on things like 5*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuccbc mode DES. To put it mildly this can be very anoying. 6*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc 7*ebfedea0SLionel SambucAbout the only way to get around this would be to compile the library as one 8*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucobject file, or to 'include' the source files in a specific order. 9*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc 10*ebfedea0SLionel SambucThe best way to get an idea of the 'raw' DES speed is to build the 11*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc'speed' program in crypto/des. 12
