On a Windows machine with an Intel Pentium B970 @ 2.3GHz I got the following
speeds (running on only one a single core):
Seed + key generation: 144us
Message signing (short message): 87us
Message verifying (short message): 228us
Scalar addition: 100us
Key exchange: 220us
Seed + key generation: 144us (6944 per second)
Message signing (short message): 87us (11494 per second)
Message verifying (short message): 228us (4386 per second)
Scalar addition: 100us (10000 per second)
Key exchange: 220us (4545 per second)
The speeds on other machines may vary. Sign/verify times will be higher with
longer messages. The implementation significantly benefits from 64 bit
architectures, if possible compile as 64 bit.
As a comparison, RSA-2048 (which has a lower security level than Ed25519) got
143 signatures per second and 4644 verifications per second on the same machine.
