The two products have the same base source code. There is no difference in performance, other conditions remaining the same. However, the performance of several openssl library functions is dictated by the random number generator on the system. The /dev/urandom and /dev/random devices perform better than prngd. You can download /dev/random from http://software.hp.com.
