Did you try "opessl speed -engine rsa ...."?

Do your results correspond to the documentation given
with your hardware device?

Try to isolate the problem first. How do you say you
are hitting the maximum number of TLS sessions? It
could mean various things like network, your card, CPU
anything. 

More details on what crypto you are accelerating could
help.
