Which HW engine are you using and on what OS ? > The reason I am asking this is, in our deployment, I see that the CPU on > which I am running OpenSsl is loaded just 40% and I still hit the maximum > number of TLS sessions i could process.

The cryptodev engine (OpenBSD/FreeBSD/linux) can provide async support so that multiple SSL users are being processed at once. How are you testing the performance ? On box or using networking ?
