I've committed a bunch of fixes and improvements to serf for SSL. This should bring ra_serf in line with ra_neon for SSL. As a data point, 'svn ls -v' on a directory - old serf exchanged 90 TCP packets for 31.5KB; new serf does 41 TCP packets for 11.5KB; ra_neon does 99 TCP packets for 19.5KB. Wall clock time looks to be about the same between ra_neon & ra_serf (I'm at high latency). Basic tests: | 1.7.0-dev (serf) | rNNNNNNNN | 1:07.272 | 0:35.990 | 0:04.994 | 0:00.043 | 0:00.060 | 0:07.897 | 0:00.041 | 1.7.0-dev (neon) | rNNNNNNNN | 1:17.145 | 0:23.997 | 0:06.000 | 0:00.045 | 0:00.059 | 0:09.893 | 0:00.039 HTH. -- justin
