Jussi added block mode for RC4 instead that auto block-mode that is prefered over the "automatic" one that is generated otherwise. I don't know how much performance it brings but I would be supprised if it is a lot on an average CPU. With this patch in I think it is a matter of time until we get the AES-CBC & and friends block mode optimized code (which should be a little faster since comparing to calling a function call for the XORâ?¦) you get the idea.
