Good point. So in order to also test the throughput, I've put my OpenRD
under load:

| stress -c 2 -i 2 -m 2 --vm-bytes 64MB

and ran the tests again:

chunksize       af_alg          cryptodev       (100 * cryptodev / af_alg)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
512              0.618 MB/s      1.14 MB/s      184 %
1024             1.258 MB/s      2.28 MB/s      181 %
2048             2.453 MB/s      4.39 MB/s      179 %
4096             4.540 MB/s      7.76 MB/s      171 %
8192             7.981 MB/s     11.67 MB/s      146 %
16384           12.543 MB/s     14.08 MB/s      112 %
32768           13.139 MB/s     14.46 MB/s      110 %
65536           14.254 MB/s     15.55 MB/s      109 %

So that means cryptodev-linux is superior in throughput as well as
latency, right? Or is it the lower latency of the interface causing the
higher throughput?

Greetings, Phil
