I'm very glad to see you are working on a product like JSSE. It is VERY important to us. We have tried many toolkits and they all (yours included) have one flaw: the initial SSLSocket connect time is
prohibitive. I understand there is a lot of handshaking and negotiation going on there but I'm wonder if there is anything I can do above the default implementation to speed this up. I've seen connect
times go from less that 1 second without SSL to over 8 seconds with SSL. Can I precompute keys or anything to improve this time? Is this increase in time normal or am I doing something wrong? I've
seen pretty much the same hit with every toolkit I've tried.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. We'd be willing to pay to get support for this problem.

Thanks
