155714SkrisThe 'times' in this directory are not all for the most recent version of 255714Skristhe library and it should be noted that on some CPUs (specifically sparc 355714Skrisand Alpha), the locations of files in the application after linking can 455714Skrismake upto a %10 speed difference when running benchmarks on things like 555714Skriscbc mode DES. To put it mildly this can be very anoying. 655714Skris 755714SkrisAbout the only way to get around this would be to compile the library as one 855714Skrisobject file, or to 'include' the source files in a specific order. 955714Skris 1055714SkrisThe best way to get an idea of the 'raw' DES speed is to build the 1155714Skris'speed' program in crypto/des. 12
