A long time ago, compiler flags made a hell of a difference 
for openssl on sparc64 (and I assume that kernel crypto might 
behave in a similar way)...

I don't know about the current defaults in OpenBSD/sparc64, 
but for a T1 cpu, you could try rebuilding the kernel with 
something like "-mcpu=v9 -mtune=niagara" in mk.conf COPTS, 
and check if you see an improvement.

You'll be on your own with any problems though - custom 
compiler otimizations for the system are generally frowned 
upon :)

Alex.
