OS: Fedora 16
OpenSSL Version: 1.0.0j

Several people seem to have encountered a problem where s_time connects 
slower when using -www and -reuse than -www and -new [1]. This should 
not be the case, especially when downloading a small file. However, 
I see this when using openssl-1.0.0j. 

With -www and -reuse I see 5020 connections in 30 seconds. 
Without -www I see 5260 connections. 

With -www and -new I see 751 connections in 30 seconds. 
Without -www I see 59338 connections. 

None of the previous inquiries about this problem seem to have been 
answered thoroughly. Some people found using -ssl[23] helped in previous 
versions, but this does not seem to be the case now. 

I watched s_client using strace and did not see anything odd. I also 
tried using s_client to connect to lighttpd instead of s_server; 
here the performance was similar.
