Right? > About SSL, I don't know if the FPU could speed up things. I know that an FPU can speed up floating point operations dramatically, and floating point math is involved alot in encryption / decryption - as far as I know. Anyone here has numbers regarding the speedup when using the FPU? I would at least expect values like 100% speed inprovement ;) But maybe I'm totally wrong? Greets, Ole
