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