22 * This might appear controversial, but the fact is that generic
23 * prime method was observed to deliver better performance even
24 * for NIST primes on a range of platforms, e.g.: 60%-15%
25 * improvement on IA-64, ~25% on ARM, 30%-90% on P4, 20%-25%
26 * in 32-bit build and 35%--12% in 64-bit build on Core2...
27 * Coefficients are relative to optimized bn_nist.c for most
28 * intensive ECDSA verify and ECDH operations for 192- and 521-
29 * bit keys respectively. Choice of these boundary values is
30 * arguable, because the dependency of improvement coefficient
31 * from key length is not a "monotone" curve. For example while
32 * 571-bit result is 23% on ARM, 384-bit one is -1%. But it's
33 * generally faster, sometimes "respectfully" faster, sometimes
34 * "tolerably" slower... What effectively happens is that loop
35 * with bn_mul_add_words is put against bn_mul_mont, and the
36 * latter "wins" on short vectors. Correct solution should be
37 * implementing dedicated NxN multiplication subroutines for
38 * small N. But till it materializes, let's stick to generic
