The following is a graphical representation of Perl scalability with SSL.

SSL Performance Test: C CGI

This test was performed by accessing a C executable called printenv in SSL mode. This
executable outputs the environment variable information. The test was performed in SSL mode
with the SSL session cache enabled. The goal was to saturate the cores on the server and find out
the respective throughput and response time.
The following table shows the SSL CGI test results.
