We're going to need more details on what software you're using.
But based on my experiments, the item to make the biggest change in
performance is the version of OpenSSL that you're using, and how it's
compiled. You need to make sure that you're using a recent version of
OpenSSL (preferably 0.9.6a) and that the inline assembly is being used for
your platform. Are you on Solaris or Intel hardware? If Solaris, Sun's
compiled may work a lot better than gcc.
After that, make sure that you're using a shared memory cache, preferably
the shmcb version.
