------------------------------------
Yes, definitely. We discussed that offline, but I realise now that it wasn't
clear in the ticket, so thanks for mentioning that.
> Test SSL/TLS impact on performance
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2431
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: security
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Ben Stopford
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> Test new Producer and new Consumer performance with and without SSL/TLS once
> the SSL/TLS branch is integrated.
> The ideal scenario is that SSL/TLS would not have an impact if disabled. When
> enabled, there will be some overhead (encryption and the inability to use
> `SendFile`) and it will be good to quantify it. The encryption overhead is
> reduced if recent JDKs are used with CPUs that support AES-specific
> instructions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set).
