Not a kernel problem anyway, this is a 100% user land workload

Only conclusion is that openssl was not correctly compiled on linux distros,
while/or better compiled on solaris (or its a 64 bit solaris, or test results wrong)


32bit kernel

Other build (probably uses SSE2) :

Then, same hardware/machine with 64 bits kernel/openssl :
