A few more specifics would be helpful here.

Your results here would be portable across systems however one would
need to know the nature of the build and the architecture. I often
single step through functions and thus use non-optimized debug builds
which are vastly slower than a regular optimal build. Also the asm code
simply does not exist on some architectures like sparc ( non T4 ) or
some older powerpc types.

That isn't too clear. How are you calling ecdh() and with what test data?

Hey there UofW type, what rev of openssl are you using?  Should I assume
that you have "OpenSSL 1.1.0g  2 Nov 2017" on some reasonable
architecture?
