Comment (by midnightmagic):

 The benchmark is using /dev/random, which is blocking:

 <class 'pycryptopp.bench.bench_sigs.RSA2048'>
 generate key
 best: 5.075e+01,   3th-best: 1.051e+02, mean: 1.349e+02,   3th-worst:
 1.540e+02, worst: 2.239e+02 (of      8)
 sign
 ^Cterminate called after throwing an instance of 'CryptoPP::OS_RNG_Err'
   what():  OS_Rng: read /dev/random operation failed with error 4
 Abort trap (core dumped)
