Here's a post that talks about the old assembly for 64bit x86. http://zombe.es/post/4059999783/openssl-outmoded-asm
Performance is up to 50% worse for AES ciphers so I would think this is a must fix. Patch available for RC4 on x86_64. http://cvs.openssl.org/filediff?f=openssl/crypto/rc4/asm/rc4-x86_64.pl&v1=1.12&v2=1.13 For the rest, the option should be to disable ASM for 64bit and rely on AESNI for processors with AES-NI support.
