        Both symmetric and asymmetric algorithms be implemented either as 
stream vs. block ciphers - that's not tied to the TYPE of algorithm.
        Speed wise, it's certainly faster to do a symmetric crypt than an 
asymmetric one - since there is less overhead on the "key 
management".   But again, performance isn't a choice for algoroithm type in 
crypto.
