(i.e., `ubench`) :) Also, just curious... can you > test the speed of crypto? Yes, want to gape at some large numbers ;) I'll try to do a ubench tonight. I'd love to test the speed of the crypto, but I'm not exactly sure how, nor even test if it's actually being used e.g. by openssl. All I've confirmed is whether /dev/crypto exists :) I'd like to make sure that at the very least, Apache from ports, and OpenSSH and OpenSSL in the base system are using it, and ideally that OpenSSL from ports is using it too. I'm working on getting IPsec up and running, and I have FAST_IPSEC in the kernel, so it *should* use it, but again, I can't think of an easy way to confirm this other than watching the device node for opens/reads/writes > You might wants to consider using a low-power 'brick'-type AC->DC > PSU (~90W?) and a DC-DC voltage converter that plugs directly into > a mainboard's power connector. This will be quite noiseless. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally it would mount on the case (<http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/134>) like the current power supply does but I'm open to other options
