For most functions, there shouldn't really be much difference, as the code is derived from the same roots.
AES/rijndael should be faster on x86 and sparc (due to some assembly code). RSA should probably be faster too (CRT optimization).
BTW, I wonder what to do about the old Crypto.pmod organization. It uses a subdirectory Crypto/, and a magic indexing operator in Crypto.pmod. I'm afraid I'm guilty to that construction, but it was a long time ago so I hope I can be forgiven ;-)
It would be better to have a directory Crypto.pmod, and perhaps a module.pmod too, just like other modules.
What's the best way to make that change, with no more CVS breakage than necessary?

It will be interesting to compare performance between nettle and previous implementations.
