Hi Xuelei, Thanks for your reply.
I think I now know what you mean. Here it's a new benchmark: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbalao/webrevs/8223482/benchmark_sslcontextloading_manual_v0.tar.gz In this new benchmark we measure the following sequence: long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2"); long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); The SSLContext class gets initialized per run. We test both NON_FIPS (SunJCE) and FIPS (SunPKCS11) providers. Results summary (100 runs per case): FIPS_with_8223482_webrev01.txt average: 314.33 ms NON_FIPS_with_8223482_webrev01.txt average: 817.91 ms FIPS_without_8223482_webrev01.txt average: 358.42 ms NON_FIPS_without_8223482_webrev01.txt average: 771.34 ms So, yes, it seems that there is a ~6% startup impact on SunJCE. These numbers are not accurate though because of using System.currentTimeMillis to measure, they provide just a rough idea. Kind regards, Martin.-
