Hi,

I see. Indeed I checked OpenSSL, it is using massively assembly code
for SHA1 and many other (all?) crypto code...

And my tests on a 64 bits machine and the huge improvement for OpenSSL
there makes me think that they must be making very good use of the 64
bits register for saving the 32 bits words of SHA1 algorithm (they
probably make some calculation on 2 words at once thanks to this).

Jehan
