Hello, Actually this comparison is pretty old, but was unknown to me until today. It compares the various cryptographic libraries on cipher performance. https://idlebox.net/2008/0714-cryptography-speedtest-comparison/
Since then many things might have changed, but I also noticed the AES performance difference on a 32-bit processor. However, in RSA and DH nettle/gmp seem to offer much better performance than openssl [0].
