There is no complete implementation of XTR-ElGamal in Crypto++, but you can 
estimate the times pretty easily from the XTR-DH benchmarks. ElGamal 
encryption is roughly equivalent to DH key generation plus key agreement. 
Decryption is roughly equivalent to DH key agreement.

BTW, on another note, I just noticed that the DLIES decryption benchmark 
numbers at http://www.cryptopp.com/benchmarks.html are way too high, due to 
the private exponents in the private key files (dlie1024.dat and 
dlie2048.dat) being too long. The current key generation code in Crypto++ 
5.5.2 does generate the correct short exponents, so I just need to generate 
new keys and redo the benchmarks.
