Hello, I'm using openSSL on a low-end embedded processor: an Intel Atom running at 1.1Ghz.Using SSL divides down my transfer speed by two so I try to figure out how I can improve performance. For information I'm using 1.0.1e release, recompiled for Win32 (my embedded system uses an XP embedded) with MSVC2010.I checked the compilation flags and all optimizations are there. I tried asm version and no-asm versions but no difference. Still for information, SSL algorithms cipher suite is RSA (with 4096 bits key) for authentication, AES256 for transfer. I know that key length influences protocol negociation before the actual transfer, but I'm implementing a proprietary file transfer protocol over TCP that does not require continuous disconnect/reconnect phases: only one connection is enough therefore slowdown is rather due to data encryption rather than key exchange. Do you have any advice, whether it can be related to compiler configuration, protocol choice for transmission, anything else than specific code tuning for Intel Atom ? Eventually that protocol will run also on ARM-based platforms so I'd rather avoid doing anything specific for a given architecture if I can avoid it...
