SSL Performance

[Patrick Berry]

Apologies in advance, I know this is a topic (SSL) this is greatly  
misunderstood and generates more than it's fair share of questions.

We've never had a problem with CAS 2 performance, even though we run  
tomcat 5.0.28 with nothing in front on JDK 1.4.2.  We foolishly never  
did any baseline performance testing with httperf.  We finally ran  
into a problem and started to do some testing.

It came down to this, just hitting /cas/login :
SSL: 11 connection/sec
No SSL: 150+ connections/sec

Question: Is this basically what others see?

I know the solutions, upgrade JVM, upgrade tomcat, upgrade CAS,  
cluster CAS, offload SSL and I'll get there eventually.  I mainly  
just want to see if my tests reflect reality (not just my own reality).

Cheers,
Pat
