Mansour, Aleksei, Mark, Dirk-Willem, Related, but a little off-center, as all of you seem to have some experience with hardware acceleration of OpenSSL.
Do you really see a significant performance increase? IE, is it worth the trouble at this point to offload encryption mathematics, given the speed and pricepoints of CPUs themselves? We could use either our UltraSPARC or Solarisx86 platforms; any strong indications one or the other?

It appears that openssl (below methods) only takes filesystem directory paths and file names as input X509_STORE_load_locations() SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file Any thoughts/suggestions?
