There's also SHA* acceleration in --enable-fat and some 32-bit ARM assembler IIRC. In pure crypto the speedup can be quite significant (like 5x in one of my tests).

Status in nettle package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The current build of libnettle6 does not have AES-NI enabled. There's two configure options for enabling it: --enable-x86-aesni: Use AES-NI instructions instead of the standard implementation. This will break on systems that don't have AES-NI. --enable-fat: Build a "fat" library that has the standard implementation and the AES-NI implementation. This allows the library to continue working on older systems while providing faster performance on systems that have AES-NI. Note that Nettle's AES-NI implementation as of v3.2 is only supported on amd64, not i386, so this would only affect the 64-bit package.
