nice! glad to know this
Hi,
I was just reading through the tor man page, and I came across the
HardwareAccel and AccelName options. This peaked my interest because my
new laptop has the AES-NI CPU instruction set. I added this to my torrc:
HardwareAccel 1
AccelName aesni
And now when I start Tor I get this:
