Slow HTTPS

[nadhem]

I have a CSS11506 with an SSL module loaded. The CSS is gigabit trunked to an L2 switch.

Load balancing the web servers, running on port 80, is working fine with standard HTTP. Once enabling SSL on the CSS and trying to access the service via HTTPS, the access becomes slow (two or three times slower than HTTP.)

I have double checked the configuration and it is fine.

Has anyone faced the same before?

The problem got resolved with an image upgrade.

FYI.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm having the exact same problem on our 11503. Anything going through https is loading considerably slower than through http.

If I compare https through the content switch with https directly from the web servers, the web servers are much faster.

Did you ever find a soultion to this?

Has anybody else experienced this before?

Whoops.. I think the last reply was threaded and I didn't see that there was a soultion. I'll try upgrading the software.
