Thanks for the numbers.  However, the numbers Nitrokey are are missing.
Shall I send you a "standard" Zeitcontrol card, which is probably the
most widely used device and also what is crunching the numbers in a
Nitrokey?

The numbers are as expected.  With a crypto chip RSA is much faster.  By
design the Gnuk can't be as fast - it is just a simple MCU.  However,
using Curve25519 Gnuk is really fast.
