Yes, but that is a micro-benchmark. Real applications will
have much bigger issues completely unrelated to this. While
I can fully appreciate this topic in the context of e.g.
openssl, nobody around here has designed the current
implementation for the requirement you are after.
That does not mean it is not worth pursuing. But the problem
might need to be reframed.
