Just tried it on one of my servers, I get a ratio of 0,7% in ssl vs non-ssl ab benchmark, without keepalive. With keepalive it gets to 1/3.
However, I noticed something else a year or so ago, never figured out the cause. I can't get apache to work faster than 11k req/s, no matter how many concurrent clients I use. On the same hardware nginx goes up to 30k req/s. (request here contains mere 14 bytes of static content, small compared to even HTTP headers it consumes). Here's the graph: http://blog.a2o.si/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/HelloWorld.txt.png And the whole article (a bit dated now): http://blog.a2o.si/2009/06/24/apache-mod_php-compared-to-nginx-php-fpm/ b.
