Comment (by yawning):

 > Why should LibreSSL include more than one ECDH implementation?

 Ask the LibreSSL developers that question, they ship several.

 As far as I can tell, if the  tor warning message is getting displayed on
 a LibreSSL system, the library isn't using any of the fast EC
 implementations that are present in the source tree (agl's or
 Gueron/Krasnov's).
