Yes it does. Someone should have noticed that instead of doing:

    loop -> cryptoapi -> ppdd

it would have been faster, more efficient and more portable to do:

    loop -> ppdd

Thus completely eliminating the cryptoapi crap. Same silliness is also
present in cryptoapi versions of loop encryption:

    loop -> cryptoapi -> AES

Loop-AES code is faster and more efficient as it does not have unnecessary
slowdown layers:

    loop -> AES

Am I the only person on this planet who cares about efficiency and speed?
