We are starting a major project based on SSL and your post raised our concerns.
Which aspect of the Sun SSL implementation is not providing acceptable performance?
Do you have any performance measurement numbers you can share?
I have some numbers...but the are not scientifically proven - just a finger on a stopwatch.
One way that we test our HTTP/SSL performance is by driving a browser through a proxy server that we have implemented in Java and the Sun SSL implementation. When we browse directly to the webserver (without the proxy) in IE our large test page takes ~2 seconds to load. When we run through our proxy implementation, it takes ~12 seconds.
It's possible that our implementation is flawed, but we've put a lot of time and effort into optizing the performance of our code. Additionally, our proxy implementation also supports non-SSL, and we see very little slowdown when running through the non-SSL ports. Our large test page loads in ~3 seconds.
