Here are more objective numbers. I timed 1000 runs of wg genkey | wg pubkey > /dev/null. Each timing was done four times for both MIPS16 and MIPS32 and the worst results were chosen. MIPS32 results: real 0m 10.06s user 0m 8.12s sys 0m 1.34s MIPS16 results: real 0m 11.96s user 0m 10.14s sys 0m 1.15s I'd say the difference is, indeed, negligible.
