Even if it was changed to a native impl, because of the style of API there would be a lot of java to native boundary cross, potentially with data copying, so I don't think it would be much faster. Potentially they could do something with a new API that better supported ByteBuffer... maybe even direct bytebuffers. > To be honest I am really satisfied with our current setup and very > impressed with how Jetty handles itself under load.

So if you are happy with your current setup, then there is probably little reason to change. Simplicity is also a powerful feature... more so than throughput for many applications. However, if you do need better SSL throughput, then this approach is something to consider. cheers -- Greg Wilkins <[email protected]> CTO http://webtide.com
