openssl speed md4 aes shows:
type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes md4 10708.72k 38240.96k 111170.47k 215872.85k 296828.93k aes-128 cbc 32121.81k 32678.31k 33119.49k 33221.29k 33210.59k aes-192 cbc 27915.92k 27868.52k 28418.08k 28677.12k 28721.15k aes-256 cbc 24599.57k 25142.38k 25381.80k 25474.88k 25392.46k
