Couple of comments about comparing openssl bn and gmp. It's recognized
fact that openssl bn has room for improvement. crypto/bn/asm/*-mont.pl
modules aim to fill this room. It should be noted however that openssl
bn is unlikely to outperform gmp for one simple reason. Openssl is not
only about performance, it's also about security. Meaning that there is
a number of countermeasures implemented addressing various PKI
vulnerabilities, which naturally affect the performance. A.
