That is fascinating -- I did not know that decryption was calibrated
to take a certain amount of time. Very interesting. I hope I haven't
misunderstood.
How much variation is there for a given calibration -- how do you
create generic canned packages for wide distribution? Gentoo compiles
everything and could easily calibrate itself; RedHat, Debian, and most
others distribute binaries and can't. I'd think that could lead to a
pretty wide range of decrypt times.
