I was thinking vax is/was similar to the sparc case, in which
recompiling libssl with different compiler flags made/makes a huge
performance difference.

which crypto algorithms use floating point?

and here I was assuming that security/ssh2 was openssh...

now where did I put my jump-to-conclusions mat?
