Hmm ... would this speed up a dictionary attack?
Not really. It appears to only handle a single encryption stream, and doesn't do it a lot faster than a modern CPU does. It's real advantage is that the main CPU can be doing something else at the time. For dictionary attacks, you really need specialized hardware that can do a large number of ciphers in parallel.
