I've read that too. But with a good optimizing compiler, there won't be
much of a speed reduction without assembler.
What do you mean with "run circles"? And why should 32-bit builds even
try to load *our* openssl dll? The dll is in our own install dir, and
that's the only place it belongs (read the openssl docs: they clearly
state that you must not put it in Windows or System32 or the Win64
equivalent of these dirs).
