No. The speed-critical portions of PGP 2.6 use the same multi-precision integer libraries as in PGP 2.3a. We have noticed no appreciable speed difference between PGP 2.3a and PGP 2.6 on any of the platforms we have tried. If you observe a performance problem with PGP 2.6, please send details to pgp-bugs@mit.edu. Be sure totell us what platform and compiler you are using.
