Would you say the same about 2^255-19 vs 2^256-189? That also had a 8% performance increase iirc, for very similar reasons. One could also try 2^382-31, which would be much more similar to the gain at the lower security level. Furthermore, if the faster one was more optimized, and the slower one not as much, that would be a reasonable conclusion. But we are comparing a C implementation written yesterday to a handwritten assembler one, with the C outperforming the assembly. Now, with SUPERCOP, we could measure the fastest one on each machine, across compilers and implementations. That unfortunately isn't going to happen in time, and regrettably the NUMS group did not make ECClib into a SUPERCOP submission earlier. Having screwed up plenty of benchmarks myself through stupid things, SUPERCOP is a really good idea to force oneself to measure the right thing. There is a theoretical reason to think that a carryless prime will outperform a slightly larger packed one, and that is the algorithm one uses for packed arithmetic will work with any c that isn't bigger than the word, so the packed implementation could be adapted for the unpacked case.
