+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-engine id>
+
+specifying an engine (by it's unique B<id> string) will cause B<speed>
+to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
+thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
+for all available algorithms.
+
+=item B<[zero or more test algorithms]>
+
+If any options are given, B<speed> tests those algorithms, otherwise all of
+the above are tested.
