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.
