(more for longer keys) on RSA/DSA.

x86_64 platform. It targets specifically RSA1024 sign (using ideas
from http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/239) and adds more than 10% on most
platforms. Overall performance improvement relative to 1.0.0 is ~40%
in average, with best result of 54% on Westmere. Incidentally ~40%
is average improvement even for longer key lengths.
