[tor-talk] hardware acceleration OK or not?

[Joe Btfsplk]

Hardware acceleration is unchecked by default it Torbrowser.

Other than some machines might not support it, is there a reason not to 
enabled it?

Some fingerprinting or other issue?

The dev manual (stable) just has this to say:

*/"HardwareAccel* *0*|*1*

If non-zero, try to use built-in (static) crypto hardware acceleration 
when available. (Default: 0)"/

Indicating it may be turned on or off (off by default).

Thanks.
