I've been profiling our SSH plugin:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/tree/master/plugins/ssh
http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/ssh_get_random.svg

One observation is it seems to spend a lot of time in ssh_get_random;
something like a third of the time in sftp_packet_write is spent
there.  Is there anything we should know to make this faster?  I
believe we are using the openssl (libcrypto) backend.

The hardware is AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor with these flags:
