Hi WordPress team. I've been busy since #64008 working to improve
performance and test coverage
* https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat/releases/tag/v1.22.0
* https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat/releases/tag/v1.23.0
* https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat/compare/v1.21.2...v1.23.0
This change affects a lot of internal classes, but see
https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat/pull/198 for what this much
diff buys you. That's about a 7% to 12% increase for the PHPUnit test
suite across PHP versions. The more you touch curve25519, without ext-
sodium installed, the more pronounced this performance benefit will be.
