Question #225826 on IUS Community Project changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ius/+question/225826

Sandy posted a new comment:
The above output is confusing and the performance enhancement is not
coming out very clear to conclude if it is enabled or not ?

openssl speed -engine aesni aes-256-cbc
aes-256 cbc 74433.36k 80299.29k 81754.11k 172597.93k 173405.53k

Vs

$ openssl speed aes-256-cbc
aes-256 cbc 74276.77k 78848.39k 81812.65k 173653.67k 171010.73k

Should one be using 
openssl speed -evp aes-256-cbc 

to check if the speed is good and if so conclude that the Intel engine
is enabled ?

I learnt from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1001424 thread
that  the engine is embedded into evp and above should be the command.
But dont know if its true for OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 version ?

Thoughts ?
