<P><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>We are using STunnel v.3.x and STunnel v.4.x on different systems (Application Servers and DB Servers, on HP and Sun mainframe hardware).<BR><BR>We have noticed that the STunnel load is quite heavy for the CPUs of each Server.<BR>So, we are beginning to study and analyze a solution that allows we to use STunnel without generate overhead on the CPUs.<BR><BR>A good solution could be using a SSL Accelerator card as <EM>"SSL engine", </EM>in order to offloading the calls to the card CPU.</FONT></P>
