That might be an educational exercise in any case (for me at least). I
was also thinking of trying to profile the program as a first step in
increasing its performance in general; that might reveal something
interesting as well.

I am also planning to write a similar program in C using OpenSSL's
Blowfish implementation. I want to get a point of comparison to see if
my implementation has "reasonable" performance or not (here I'm assuming
that OpenSSL is reasonable). I'm curious now if the C/OpenSSL version
will also demonstrate this same performance quirk.
