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

IIRC I get pretty awful AB performance with ssl_session_cache on or off.

That said, whilst RPS is low, whilst I'm hammering it with AB it seems to have little problem being responsive in my browser :S

Try adding the -k parameter to ab to use keep alive requests and see if you notice an uptick. If you a generating a new session on each request it doesn't matter if you used the SSL session caching or not in Nginx.
