# something else sha1-ia64.pl module processes one byte in 6.0 cycles.
# On Itanium GHASH should run at ~8.5 cycles per byte.

# Note about "528B" variant. In Itanium 2 case it makes lesser sense
# to implement it for following reason. Because number of functional
# units is naturally limited, it's impossible to implement "528B" loop
# in 4 cycles, only in 5. This means that theoretically performance
# improvement can't be more than 20%, ~15% is more realistic. This
# is considered below justification level for implementing new code.
# Not to mention that on original Itanium it would actually run
# slower, spending >9 cycles per byte.
