>Description:

eca_mult_affine_point() implements the windowing algorithm. A table is build
for each input. It was declared static and a control was set to test the
input point. If the input point is the same as in the previous call, then
the same table is used, if not, a new table is built. Calling
ecs_SharedValueProtocol2_P2() with the same parameters each time, caused a
caching of the table construction. For the field size 155, the timing
average of ECSVEP2 phase 2 was 1 ms, instead of 120 ms, the timing result
for only one loop. The Toolkit binder registered 1 ms for ECSVEP2 for 155
and 239. 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run bsb.exe, the source being
	/certicom/projects/toolkit/src/bench/bench.c.  
	

>Fix:
	Run only one loop when benchmarking the ECSVEP2.
