Nginx sucks at SSL, here's what to do instead

Without any reference to the nginx options

  ssl_session_cache
  keepalive_timeout
  keepalice_requests

and whether or not the other webservers mentioned support such options and if they are enabled in the tests. There is no way to know if this is alarming or just FUD. Also missing from this comparison is a vanilla Apache SSL benchmark (which will suck, but would serve as a reference point).

Given nginx's track record, I prepared to give nginx the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's a invalid test.

That said, I'm going to run some benchmarks of my own.

Mr. randomstring, your test results before blekko launched were much faster than this guy's number. Want me to quote from your email?
