Android devices with CPUs that are utilizing the ARMv8-A instruction set are starting to show up on the market. It looks like the iOS client has supported the ARM cryptographic instructions since Dec. 2013. Please add support for these instructions to the Android client as well, since it looks like significant performance improvements were seen in the iOS client.

Here is some information from ARM on how to detect support for these instructions on an Android device: http://community.arm.com/groups/android ... rmv8-a-cpu

I ordered a Moto E 2nd gen that should be here Wednesday. It has an ARMv8 CPU and I'll try to see if I can run some tests between the new build and the previous build.
