A quick test on horizon showed no discernible speed variations between
DES, Blowfish and Blowfish_PP in perl-5.00503 on a redhat 6.1 box
running a pair of P-II/300s.
I just discovered a small bug, though, while testing this. Turns out
I had horizon set to not process immediately. The 2.0 (and 2.0a) client
code has support to ensure that a bulk order under a new profile -- or
maybe just the 'all three TLDs at the same time' orders -- end up under
the same profile, by setting reg_domain in the 2nd+ registrations to the
first domain. This fails unless process immediately is on.
In any case, DES does work with the longer key (only 56 bits are used).
Blowfish_PP works and, at least on a P-II/300 under unix, is fast enough
under limited testing. I'm sure it'd bog down much sooner than the
compiled Blowfish under heavy usage. for some definition of heavy.
