Is there a use case you have in mind where people would be using crypto hash based UUID's where performance is a concern? In in that case where someone was trying to create a huge number of crypto hash based UUID's, how much overhead is there in going through the kernel API if there is *not* a hardware accelerator present? - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
