This might be a typical use case for you, but some people are running scripts that generate lots of keys. There may be a good argument that if you're doing that kind of thing, a tiny MIPS router isn't the right hardware for your use case. But, before going down that route, I'd still be interested in knowing if it _actually_ makes any difference at all. Maybe it's negligible, for example. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
