  Ouch.  Yah, it's like a 200 MHz CPU, and it's optimized for
low-power, not performance.  I'm surprised it's even usable.

  There are some LinkSys bitty boxes which supposedly have crypto
accelerators in them, and some of them are listed on the OpenWRT
pages, but I don't know if the crypto hardware is supported.
