I think the "use version 1 for speed" stuff should be left out 
completely in the docs.  I'm suspicious that this thread started because 
someone didn't know about the openssl speedups on sparc32, started 
tinkering, and found that v1 workaround instead of the "real" openssl 
fix.  Is that the case Mr. Kasten?
