the only reason you may have wanted to not enabled hardware acceleration was fixed last year. (openssl was inadvertently forcing use of a single entropy source (RDRAND) when default engines enabled in a specific first Tor run sequence. (see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10402 ) there used to be some engines that were slower than optimized CPU asm variants, but i don't believe these are in use any more. please enable this option, especially if you've got a recent VIA or Intel processor. best regards, -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
