    Subject: DH key pair generation is really slow

Hello,

I'm experimenting with generating DH key pairs for use
with a KeyAgreement. I can generate DH key pairs for
strengths of 64, 128, and 256, but 512 or higher seems
to hang my machine. (I suspect that it's not hanging,
it's just taking a very long time.) I have a Pentium 90.

Anyhow I wasn't sure if you were aware of this or not,
and thought maybe you'd be interested.

Ciao,
Jonathan
