No. Well... okay, asymmetric crypto is a good deal slower than it should
be because Sun can't use gmp. We have code to fix that, by pulling in a
native modPow() from GMP; this is still being worked on and was originally
written for I2P. But I don't think connection negotiation is a big issue 
in Fred any more. I suspect routing is the bigger CPU issue. There are, 
naturally, performance issues with CPU usage in routing as well 
(Big*.doubleValue()). Anyway, I very much doubt that either asymmetric
or symmetric crypto is the majority of the CPU cost of running Fred
nowadays. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on this though.
