dmesg and OpenSSL speed pr0n

I installed a Soekris vpn1401 in my net4801 a couple weeks ago to improve the performance of the OpenVPN (SSL) and IPSec VPNs I have running over the wireless. This morning I decided to run 'openssl speed' to see what the raw performance is like in rough comparison to what I remember from running the test without the card installed. Generally speaking, these results represent 3x+ speed increases over the stock hardware.
