Hi Jeff, both ab and JMETER is using keep alive. I am using SSL session cache in the config as - SSLSessionCache"shmcb:/path to logs/ssl_scache(512000)" > Even if so, it is worth using mod_ssl tracing to confirm that the > combination of client/server behavior results in a reasonably high

Thanks Mark. It really helps. Once I have used keep alive in benchmark response time reduced from 1900ms to 5 ms! It should have come to my mind before. But thanks for your valuable hints.. I can now breath :) Next thing I am targetting is to use this server for stress test and will let you know i

As subject specifies, I have problem with running Apache on SSL only. I tried to use 'ab' and tested port 80& 443 both. port 80 is too fast than running the server with port 443. SSL needs a source of random data. What source have you told Apache to use? Note that it is possilble that som
