I am not much of an IIS guy (know enough to get by), and I have a request from one of our developers to investigate why SSL is slow. What I can confirm is that the initial connection to SSL takes several seconds (5 or more), but after that it is fine. My research on the topic suggests that it is normal for the initial connection to be relatively slow, but it seems like it shouldn't take as long as it does. The one thing I ran across that I am not clear whether may be at issue is the certificate revocation checks. The connections in question are certificates that are for internal web access and are signed by our internal certification authority (domain controller). Is there something I can do in regards to certificate revocation checks to speed the process up? Any other suggestions?
