Good point. AES hardware acceleration makes a massive difference. It's why ZeroTier 2.x will use AES. Tiny boxes that lack HW acceleration are generally not used in cases where they're pushing enough bandwidth to matter anyway.

No, but boxes who lack hardware acceleration might care about battery life.

How many 32-bit ARM phones without AES units are there still around?
