    The ECDL program always logs the distinguished points found to the
    dist.points file, regardless of the mode. If you're running in http
    mode, you don't need to send us the dist.points file, but it's a
    useful archive of all points your client sent us. For instance, you
    can count the number of points in that file and check that it matches
    the number of points we received from you, as shown on the ECDL Web site.

    No, or not yet. I wanted to do it at some point but go sidetracked.
    Below are the speeds I observed on some of our machines. I welcome
    more data, but please send them to me (Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr) directly
    and not to this mailing-list, and put "ECDL speed" in the subject
    line. Thanks.
