Hi,

GnuTLS's RSA key generation time is really long, making it barely
usable in real life (you would not want to wait half an hour for a new
https site you visit). I tried "openssl rsa 1024" and it took only a
few seconds. How about dropping GnuTLS support in favor of OpenSSL? I
made a patch, which  simply calls "openssl rsa 1024" to generate
private keys. It worked really well I did not have to wait while
surfing https sites.

If it's not feasible to adapt openssl, how about an option to reuse
existing private keys? It makes system much weaker, but for a single
user system like mine, I don't really care.

Cheers,
