Status of OpenSSL 1.1 Lede/OpenWrt?

Ah I was looking on my phone. Needed to scroll horizontally.

So this is the code for chacha20 on openssl: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_0-stable/crypto/chacha/chacha_enc.c

and this is for libressl: https://github.com/libressl-portable/openbsd/blob/master/src/lib/libcrypto/chacha/chacha-merged.c

It's based on the same code but still quite different.

In particular, look at this: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/tree/OpenSSL_1_1_0-stable/crypto/chacha/asm

Those are ASM optimized versions for only a few platforms which LibreSSL does not have. Meaning you're comparing the OpenSSL C code to the LibreSSL C code.

Once OpenSSL gets ASM for MIPS, it should be faster.

Your results are probably quite accurate, from what I understand LibreSSL focuses on "clean code" which makes it easier to understand and find bugs however it also comes with a price which usually is by undoing ASM/hand optimizations among other things.
