Doing ECDH with our curve is within a factor of ~2 of the fastest
encryption available at this security level, AFAIK. And separate
encryption would ~double the amount of data vs using the ephemeral key
for derivation.
Using another cryptosystem would mandate carry around additional code
for a fast implementation of that cryptosystem, which wouldn't be
fantastic.
So I'm not sure much can be improved there.
