Would not another option be to do something that temporarily maxes out the CPU and forces it into boost mode, immediately prior to executing the crypto operation? But not for such a long duration that the CPU reaches any thermal limits and decreases its speed again.
Obviously energy inefficient and not good for laptops or portable devices.
