AES-NI is pretty slick. now if only we could get RSA/DSA/DH on die... :)

[the benchmarks in question show 875MB/s AES256 on PhenomII X6 1090T @
3.8Ghz as the closest competitor to the 11,000MB/s on i7-980X w/
AES-NI instruction at less clock.]

i haven't had a processor to test with; has any Tor user had luck with
openssl-aesni patches against 1.0.0?
