Comment 8 for bug 928770

And just for pedantic preciseness re crypto benchmarking:
     RPM always uses BeeCrypt for digests, the --usecrypto option is purely RSA/DSA related.

What that means is that to get a more accurate benchmark (as I performed
several years ago) you will need --nofiles
     rpm -Va --nofiles --use-crypto=XX --stats

Claims like "10% faster" are meaningless unless the benchmark comparison
basis is also stated pedantically precisely.
