When I ported the NetBSD implementation, I was considering using
OpenSSL. The discussion with Richard was essentially that the
performance benefit on known architectures is small enough to be
irrelevant. This is further aggrevated by the inconsistent performance
of OpenSSL. If you can demonstrate a platform where the delta is huge,
it wouldn't be difficult to change (as this patch shows). I'm not even
aware of a non-crippled SHA1 hardware implementation. The VIA PadLock
support is kind of screwed, so I am not even sure if it would apply for
this case.
