Thanks for the listing.

Are you aware of the speed tester that I added to libkcapi? See [1] 
subdir speed-test/

If you want to play with it, all you need to do is to add your 
init/encryption/fini code into cryptoperf-skcipher.c.

The key is that cp_ablkcipher_enc_test/cp_ablkcipher_dec_test performs 
only the encryption/decryption operation (setkey, etc is done in the 
init call). The speed measuring is done only over that function.
