Hello,

I am having some issues with my SSL implementation on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE
system. I am currently running the following software

Server Version: Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) PHP/5.1.6 with Suhosin-Patch
mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7e-p1

All built from ports. In testing of the web application I noticed that once
SSL was added the initial login to the site was slowing down. I did some
testing using Apache Bench and have noticed that without SSL the server can
process about 700 requests per second. Using SSL the number is in the 13-15
range. I have tried changing a few parameters (log level, SSLRandomSeed,
SSLSessionCache) and have seen 0 improvement. Using server_status shows that
there are plenty of resources available. Any help would be appreciated.

Tim
