Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] Improve sequence number generation.
Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2011 23:27:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110821032753.GA8992@thunk.org> (raw)

Here's a random thought --- it won't help on anything other than
modern x86's, but who's to say we have to use the same algorithm on
all platforms? Does the AES-NI facility provide enough of a speedup
that it's worth using it instead of MD5, at least on modern x86
systems which have this support?
