Hi,

The documentation currently promises "massive speed-ups in PostGIS layer rendering" with SSL disabled. [1]

I find some references to performance cost of SSL but they should be compensated for with connection pooling which we use for quite some time already.

Recently, the web is more and more encrypted - and that is very good! - so I think we should also start to encourage people to encrypt their SSL connections. Or at least certainly not discourage them from using encryption by promising performance benefits.

Is there anyone who knows why this sentence was introduced? And if there is (still) an issue with performance when using SSL?

Best regards

Matthias
