That was my first thought, but according to Dan's message, the firedaemon version is also built with no-asm. The only relevant differences I see between the two builds are static (Dan's) versus dynamic (firedaemon's) linkage: > On 21/1/21 6:18 am, Dan Heinz wrote: > > compiler: cl /Fdossl_static.pdb /Gs0 /GF /Gy /MT /Zi /W3 /wd4090 > > /nologo /O2 -DL_ENDIAN -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED /MT uses the static-linked MSVC runtime. > > Here is the downloaded binary from > > https://kb.firedaemon.com/support/solutions/articles/4000121705 > > <https://kb.firedaemon.com/support/solutions/articles/4000121705>: > > compiler: cl /Zi /Fdossl_static.pdb /Gs0 /GF /Gy /MD /W3 /wd4090 /nologo > > /O2 -DL_ENDIAN -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED /MD uses the dynamic-linked MSVC runtime. > > Here are my configure parameters: > > Configure VC-WIN64A no-shared no-asm no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-ssl2 > > no-ssl3 no-zlib no-comp no-pinshared no-ui-console > > -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED --api=1.1.0 > > > > And their configure parameters: > > Configure VC-WIN64Ano-asm no-ssl3 no-zlib no-comp no-ui-console > > --api=1.1.0 --prefix="%openssl-dst%" --openssldir=ssl > > -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED Assuming the lack of a space between "VC_WIN64A" and "no-asm" is a typo, they're also building with no-asm, and the only significant difference for this case that I can see is no-shared. (no-pinshared looks even less likely to affect this test, and does it even have any effect when building no-shared?) Linking with /MT will affect code size and layout, which could adversely affect code caching. It's not impossible that would have a factor-of-four penalty on compute-bound code. I'm reluctant to conclude that's the problem, though, without more evidence. Unfortunately tracking this down would likely require profiling. That's assuming Dan is correct about the firedaemon build being configured with no-asm. -- Michael Wojcik
