No. Well... okay, asymmetric crypto is a good deal slower than it should be because Sun can't use gmp. We have code to fix that, by pulling in a native modPow() from GMP; this is still being worked on and was originally written for I2P. But I don't think connection negotiation is a big issue in Fred any more. I suspect routing is the bigger CPU issue. There are, naturally, performance issues with CPU usage in routing as well (Big*.doubleValue()). Anyway, I very much doubt that either asymmetric or symmetric crypto is the majority of the CPU cost of running Fred nowadays. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on this though. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
