If “extra hardware” refers to AES or CBC type encryption, it is a per core 
thing.  The crypto hardware is extra instructions supported by the CPU (core).  
With hyper threading, I would have no idea if two threads involving these 
instructions on the same core would impact performance.  This interests me….  
I’ll do some poking at AMD & Intel and get back to the list!

Thanks,
Frank
