Hello everyone,
I would like to know your view on "Would the performance impact for
transmitting 'X' bytes of unencrypted data over SSLized channel be
almost same irrespective of the number of SSL_* calls" ?
Consider I am using a buffer of size 'buf_size' for SSL_read/write
(SSL_read(ssl_obj,buf,buf_size) ):
If buf_size < 'X' I would require more number of SSL_reads/writes.
If buf_size > 'X' a single SSL_read/write should suffice.
So would the performance hit for end to end transmission of this 'X'
bytes of data be the same in the cases mentioned above?
I am assuming ideal network (no network latency etc) and 'X' is not big
enough to fill kernel buffers on either side.

My view; it has a similar performance impact as if you'd sent X bytes
over TCP with TCP_NODELAY set each time only sending Y bytes, where X is
pretty big and Y is a small number (Y corresponds to your buf_size above).
I don't remember SSL having an option to make it wait for a certain
buffer size before sending it down to the network (some trick in the
BIO? maybe someone can correct me).
