Hmm.  More specifics on your configuration would be helpful if I am to
try to reproduce your setup.  Serf version?  (0.7.2 or higher would be
needed to avoid the Nagle issue.)  OS (client & server)?  You
mentioned on the page that you are using a VPN - what type of VPN?
It's highly likely some VPNs might play havoc with the OS networking
stack.

Since I can reproduce, I'll look into the OpenSSL stuff - since
ra_neon doesn't seem to have a huge hit, I'm hoping it is pretty
straightforward.

I maintain that request count isn't an highly interesting metric -
especially given serf's design.  Since the requests are pipelined, the
latency impacts should be minimal - if it were serialized and
synchronous, yes, it'd be a concern.  But, it's parallel and async, so
that number doesn't dominate in a properly tuned environment - what
you give up by sending more from the client, you should get back from
having better server-side scalability/partitioning capabilities.  --
