       href="35.html">3.5</a> performances have been greatly improved
       and OpenSSL now uses the new instruction directly when available
       without the need to enter the kernel, resulting in vastly
       improved speed (AES-128 measured at 780MByte/sec) for applications
       using OpenSSL to perform AES encryption.
