It does matter, as there are no clients that request 1KB files all day. You will see a limited number of full TLS handshakes per second in reality, because there is keep-alive and there is TLS resumption. Of course every single user causes at the very least 1 TLS handshake. That's why ab would have to be *properly* configured to reflect that. > For this specific scenario (separate/different simultaneous users) is this > ratio http/https (4600/550) abnormal? > > PS: with Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) the ration is 40% lower That depends: how many nginx workers do you have compared to how many apache threads and how does your per-core CPU load look like when benchmarking? _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
