I need a basic HTTPS server, without any web applications support,
so I've decided to use the listenTCP and listenSSL methods, together
with a twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory, a twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel
protocol
and a twisted.web.http.Request handler.
[description of configuration]
I'm testing this configuration with ApacheBench (ab), and I get some 800
requests/sec for HTTP, and only about 30 requests/sec for HTTPS. I now
that
the ratio for HTTPS is about 60% of HTTP, so I was wondering if I'm
doing something wrong, or what is causing this problem.
SSL encryption/decryption is a fairly expensive operation; the server is
doing a lot more work in this case. The numbers you are seeing aren't
unreasonable, when you take the CPU-intensive nature of SSL into account.
Hope this helps,
