Slow Generation of RSA private keys..

[Patrick Harlin]

Hi !   I have compared different platforms when generating RSA private keys through the openssl testapplication. How come, different HP 9000 machines with HP-UX 10.20 differs with over 3 minutes ??? I am thinking if absence of Math.processor or different Math.processor could be the problem ?? Anyone with ideas ?   /Patrick   Testmachines:   SunOS Test1 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 HP-UX Test2 B.10.20 C 9000/867 460504202 32-user license HP-UX Test3 B.10.20 A 9000/837 712054122 two-user license HP-UX Test4 B.10.20 A 9000/847 1481357282 two-user license AIX Test5 2 4 00B3FFA24C00   Test2 (HP) -------- [01/Jul/1999 13:34:54] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits) [01/Jul/1999 13:38:24] [info] Server: Apache/1.3.6, Interface: mod_ssl/2.3.3, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.3a ------- 3 min 30 sec   Test4 (HP) ----- [01/Jul/1999 14:05:51] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/ 1024 bits) [01/Jul/1999 14:06:39] [info] Init: Configuring temporary DH parameters (512/10 24 bits) ----- 48 sec     Gen RSA     Test1 (Sol) ------- real 0m2.015s user 0m1.920s sys 0m0.020s   Test2 (HP) -------- real 3:25.5 user 3:22.5 sys 0.1   Test3 (HP) --- real 0m15.481s user 0m15.180s sys 0m0.060s   Test4 (HP) ----- real 52.1 user 51.3 sys 0.1   Test5 (AIX) ------ Real 3.59 User 2.88 System 0.05     Summary:        Name               Time                    OS/HW                         -----------            --------                    ----                         Test1                0m2.015s            Sol Ultra-5_10                         Test2                3:25.5                 HP 9000/867                         Test3                0m15.481s          HP 9000/837                         Test4                 52.1                   HP 9000/847                         Test5                 3.59                   AIX 2 4
