=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-engine id>
specifying an engine (by it's unique B<id> string) will cause B<speed>
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms.
=item B<[zero or more test algorithms]>
If any options are given, B<speed> tests those algorithms, otherwise all of
the above are tested.
