Remarks:

[1]
Some modules, like Crypt::DES_EEE3 or Crypt::DES_EDE3 are actually pure Perl modules but are implemented as a wrapper around XS modules. These are still listed here as implemented in C. back
[2]
One test cycle for key generation actually consists of a constructor call followed by one encryption resp. decryption operation, since a module may decide to postpone the key scheduling until the direction is fixed. The number is therefore an indicator for the encryption/decryption performance for small chunks of data. back
