The problem with these benchmarks is they measure the bandwidth you can push through an established tls connection. Try to build 2000 new tls connections a seconds (yes many are still active and dont need to be restarted) that is what is the really slow part. Not sending the data over already established channels.



This exactly. Most CPU time in our Haproxy is spent on crypto/new TLS sessions handling thousands of new connections per second.
