There are two implementations of the OpenSSL bufferevent code. One works by having OpenSSL do all the reads and writes to a socket directly. The other works by wrapping around a lower-level bufferevent. For more information, see http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref6a_advanced_bufferevents.html . Generally, you'll probably get better performance from the direct implementation, unless you've got something unusual going on. peace, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
