Yes, I understand the goal of OPENSSL_cleanse() ... and I understand the
potential implications of changing it to bring up performance on 0.9.6m.

My concern is that modifying OPENSSL_cleanse() does not help performance on
0.9.7m or 0.9.8j ... which means, the performance hit is coming from
somewhere else ... 

So, if anyone has any ideas ( including security implications ) on how I can
patch the code to improve sha1 performance on a recent build of 0.9.8 for
Solaris 8 running on Sparc, I would appreciate it.

Of course, if anything permanent could be done before 0.9.9 is release, that
would be great as well ... since I would love to take advantage of the new
RSA speed when it is released.
