>> You think 7 percent is a small performance improvement? I think a 7% reduction in CPU utilization for TLS is small given the vast bulk of systems that spend most of their time IO bound on network interfaces and/or storage and will see little to no improvement in throughput. I allowed that Facebook may see this as an important improvement given their scale; it could be worth millions of dollars in power and/or hardware. >> that's a good thing ... it's still a good thing. Sure, it's good. I didn't characterize anything as "bad," merely "small."
