True ... until you restart a busy server.  Then you'll get a busy
peak, and unless --reneg-* options is disabled, you'll have these
peaks fairly regularly.

Which actually makes me ponder even more, regarding the SSL state
manager.  If OpenVPN is killed with a "restart" signal, could it
encrypt the saved state and dump to file (keying material could be the
server --key, or another explicit key for this feature).  When it is
started again, it will read and decrypt this file and continue without
re-init of all SSL clients .... but it may actually fail, especially
for TCP, depending on if there are any tight relations to the client
ports.

/me should stop thinking so much
