Silly me, forgot to mention that I'm working on Ubuntu, 64 bit, 13.10.
So, AES-CBC seems to be reasonably fast (100 MiB/s) but AES-GCM is slow
(5.2 MiB/s). I'm particularly curious about the GCM one because I get the
impression that OpenSSL should be able to reach in the GB/s for AES-GCM
encrypti
What's the platform are you using for the testing? Windows, Linux,
Solaris or Mac OS? GCM are now only implemented in SunJCE provider. I
want to make sure the crypto provider for AES-CBC, which is different
for different platforms by default, is not the major cause of the
performance impact.

I wrote a little test client/server setup that transfers 100 MB of data
over an SSL socket configured to use TLS 1.2 AES GCM
(TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256). On my i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with
OpenJDK 1.8.0-ea-b124 I get a transfer rate of around 5.2 MiB/second. I
expected a higher speed.
