Well, I got lucky:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
cpu family      : 6
model           : 9
model name      : VIA Nehemiah
stepping        : 8
cpu MHz         : 999.764
cache size      : 64 KB

Now, before I go building a new kernel and all, I figure I better ask, is
it possible to get KLIPS to work with CryptoApi's AES support? I know that
with Super FreeS/WAN, it was possible to have KLIPS use CryptoAPI modules
- that's not doable with current versions of Openswan 2, correct? 

If that's the case, I may go back to SFS temporarily for testing - I'd
rather not have to hack up all my firewall rules to get 26sec working
right now.  :)
