I'm not sure why he would be getting numbers that low. The only setup I have at the moment which would give useful numbers for ssl req/sec is a small single core VM, running one nginx worker process, and that pumps out 135 new req/sec. Add a few cores, workers, put it on real hardware, and I don't see how this couldn't push well over 400 req/sec. This is using nginx strictly as an ssl termination, where I need to do some header manipulation that I couldn't do in stunnel/stud.

Self reply, since I waited too long to edit: I remembered I had an older 8 core server sitting unused at the moment. I configured nginx with 8 workers, and ran `ab` against it. From a single (VM) host, I can get 680 connections per second (maxed the cpu on the host running the test). From 4 hosts, each host got > 290 connections per sec, so I got nginx up to over 1190 new connections per second, and can likely push it further. [EDIT] got it to peak at 1535 requests per second with 4 hosts testing.
