But you're not using the same OpenSSL library -- it would be every bit as
valid to say "took 16 hours with OpenSSL 0.9.6 and is over 58 hours
with OpenSSL 0.9.7", if I read your previous message correctly.  Or do I
misunderstand?

Unless this does _not_ happen on other platforms with the exact same two
OpenSSL versions, I'd say you need to take it up with the OpenSSL folks.
Either way, the right place to start is probably by profiling the
executable, being sure to profile the OpenSSL library as well.
