Arne and Geoff,
Sorry for the loooong delay in this reply, but thanks for your help. This
turned out to be barking up the wrong tree in the beginning, an error in the
way our homebrewed server app was reporting SSL errors, and not load based at
all...
The real problem was that the engine implementation I was working on was not
correctly handling the DES-CBC chaining that it needed to, as well as not
accounting for decrypts in place.
This new engine is available at:
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/libica
under openssl-patches. It now accelerates DES/TDES, SHA, RSA and RNG.
