You don't need to set any optimizations, just build the "release" (instead of "debug") version of cryptest. If it's still slower, trying setting a debug breakpoint inside the inline assembly code in rijndael.cpp to see if it's being used (although I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be).
If it's still slower, send me a copy of the complete benchmarks output. I want to see if everything is slower, or just AES.

I set some optimizations for the cryptest project, but I'm not sure which ones are required. The results I had got for v5.5.2 are still better than what I just got for v5.6.0 + VS 2008. I will try different optimization values, but it would be great to know exactly which ones are required to get the best performance in v5.6.0. Thanks ! Walt.

I tried to run the benchmarks but with 5.5.2 I'm seeing a seg fault in the tests for , or immediately after, salsa20, before it gets to the ones you wanted to compare so I was hoping that my test results wouldn't be needed now that Wei has responded.
