It means the hardware does. Not necessarily the particular piece of
software we care about though.

Yes, we use the crypto library for that. I'm insane, but not insane enough
to do my own crypto.

That's either OpenSSL or GnuTLS depending on which you built Openconnect
against.

Ok, you can't run GP on the real target machines... can you try
Openconnect on the machine where you *do* have GP running?

And can you run my artificial test on both?

Didn't that change with my retry patch? I'd also be interested to see
similar measurements while running netperf on the system running the GP
client.
