I have been using openssl 0.9.6 under windows and have found some
behaviour that I find curious.  When I change the suite from V2 to V3 I
am getting an enormous performance hit.

SSL_METHOD * pMethod = SSLv2_client_method();

SSL connection using : RC4-MD5
Peer name SSLeay demo server
2113863 bytes written
In 0.36 seconds

and

SSL_METHOD * pMethod = SSLv3_client_method();

SSL connection using : RC4-MD5
Peer name SSLeay demo server
2113863 bytes written
In 25.797 seconds


Am I missing something here?  I'm using non-blocking I/O which seems to
be
working fine.  I just don't understand the performance difference as
this is
the only line of code (in the client) that I am changing.  The server is
the
same binary each time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanking you in advance

Matt Henderson
