The bar are the time spent in CPU for 1000 handshakes. This means that it takes 3.81 s to do 1000 handshakes. CPU was a Q9400 @ 2.66GHz. However, this should not be taken as a general purpose benchmark since only one handshake is running at any moment. The benchmark is only here to compare with other conditions.
