Looks like VIA's route of running crypto on the cpu is quite a big 
win for many reasons, then... I wonder if it might be good to have 
the option of C3 on the net6501 as an alternative to the Intel 
processors, OpenBSD measured 780MB/s for AES-128 
<http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html> which would be pretty good to 
have on better kit than the mini-itx.
