Because you have the TLS handshake that has to be done which is CPU bound
Try change things like ssl_ciphers (to something faster), and use ssl_session_cache/

Hi, I have: nginx 1.11.3 Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS openssl 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.5 amd64 libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.5 weak CPU: N3150 16 GB RAM with this test-setup: open_file_cache max=1000 inactive=360s; open_file_cache_valid 30s; I test on running ab command on the same host as nginx is. For a 1.6KB text file I get 4600 req/s with http and 550 req/sec with https. I get the same using or not gzip encoding. Why is this huge performance difference?
