> AES-NI can decrypt at 3.5 cycles per byte. With modern consumer grade hardware you will not find symmetric streaming crypto to be a serious bottleneck.

The "old style" Raspberry Pi and, iirc, also the B2, don't carry crypto accelerators, and these are the first choice for people doing embedded linux prototyping.

Same for most other mobile chipsets.

I wouldn't exactly count on this. Chinese "pi alternative boards" already include gigabit ethernet, Android apparently also includes support for wired LAN (but somehow the manufacturer of my tablet went broke before they could sell the adapter cable)...
