Well, you should also consider bytes/watt :) type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128-cbc 48246.54k 175071.41k 472434.09k 788228.58k 980033.81k OpenBSD 4.0 (GENERIC) #1107: Sat Sep 16 19:15:58 MDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: VIA Esther processor 1500MHz ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1.50 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,SBF,SSE3,EST,TM2 Regards, ahb
