I did a check upon the JSSE spec. It comes in two versions. One for the US
and one for non-US countries. The international version does not allow other
"service providers" to be plugged-in, thus I am stuck with the slow
performance of the Sun JSSE implementation :-(((
I hate it when those morons at the US export agency make every effort to
hinder the spread of good technology :-( Seems we have to go for hardware
encryption to gain speed or set up a cluster of, say, 8 PCs just to get
acceptable performance using the JSSE with 128 bit encryption.
BTW do anyone know of a native code implementation of JSSE or a
significantly faster implementation?

No, SSL will eat up the CPU. It takes CPU cycles to do the encryption, and
the more the bits the greater the cost. This is the reason that companies
like Intel have developed special hardware devices that will handle the
encryption step.

Subject: Faster encryption
I noticed a TPS drop (transactions per second) of factor four when I
benchmarked my application using 128 bit SSL encryption (5 client threads)
compared to non-encrypted benchmarking. I know that the SSL layer is
pluggable in Orion, I use the standard one that comes with Orion 1.4.0.
Is there a faster implementation of SSL for Java/Orion out there, maybe a
native code solution? Or is the standard encryption package already using
native code for the most critical sections? I guess not, as I have used C++
packages for encryption previously and not noticed such CPU eating
behaviour.
