Right, but even though a 1.5GHz machine is a bit old (heh...) for a
workstation, my dinky little Linksys WRT54GC wireless AP still needs to
AES-encrypt a theoretical maximum of 54Mbps when I turn on WPA.

Its adorable little CPU is a far cry from a 1.5GHz Athlon. :) I haven't
tested to see if there is any difference in throughput with WPA on vs.
off, but I'd be surprised if there weren't.

Thus, something faster than AES, but still strong, would be nice. Your
point about CPU cache size vs. pad size is well-taken, though.
