#3993: Uncalibrated reports of the amount of time required to generate an RSA key
appear in the documentation
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  exarkun  |          Owner:
     Type:  defect   |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal   |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  unknown  |        Version:  n/a
 Keywords:           |  Launchpad Bug:
---------------------+---------------------------
 `docs/performance.rst`, `docs/specifications/dirnodes.rst`, and a comment
 in `src/allmydata/client.py` all make a claim about how long it takes to
 generate a 2048 bit RSA keypair.

 The claims are without reference to a date or reference piece of hardware.
 They're all also quite old and probably miss the real cost to users in
 2023 by at least an order of magnitude.

 Refresh them and add some frame of reference.
