its real time verification of a single certificate.

If would seem to me to be more efficient to do OCSP verifications on the  
connections before, if they are long - during, the the SSL connection.

Downloading and parsing the many thousands of revoked certificates seems to be 
an inefficient way of verifying the active connections (which is undoubtly 
less).

Having said that if you really want to parse crls look at the 
openssl/apps/crl.c in the openssl source code.
