Oh, the problem isn’t the handshake, it’s that the device takes a lot longer to 
respond to the RefreshObject if it’s SSL. I’ll ask our engineering guys to take 
a look. I suspect that the gateways don’t do SSL offloading, so the 2048 bit 
stuff is just killing it.

Yep, we tried it with and without SSL. The delay in the response from the CPE

easy to forget that these don’t have a lot of CPU on them.

I don't know much about the topic but 55 seconds sounds way too long for SSL 
handshake and encryption of a few KBs even for a very limited hardware.

It could be that limited memory causing this delay for large responses due to 
use of swap space. If you're only seeing this much delay when refreshing the 
entire parameter tree of the device, then try setting the config option 
"GET_PARAMETER_NAMES_DEPTH_THRESHOLD" to, say, 3 or 4 to make the ACS fetch the 
parameter tree in iterations rather than all at once so you end up with smaller 
responses.
