If you mean ChaCha20-Poly1305, looks like performance improvements may land in Go 1.12: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22809

ChaCha can be accelerated with generic SIMD instructions on any arch that supports them. Personally I think that's preferable to algorithm-specific instructions like AES-NI.
