Hi Bastian,
wasn't up until recently the pure SW slow anyway and only added about 2-3 years ago in that crazy perl generated code?
I remember we wondered why SW mode was suddenly as fast as HW mode.

Up until that time to exploit HW like cpacf one had to install and configure ibmca, which should would work today as well.
Is the test with HW-nocard as fast as it should be in general (excluding for bug 1601836)?

This doesn't mean it shouldn't be added, but in terms of severity and urgency that would mean: a proper setup works and thereby a workaround is available right?
