Hi,
I'm using nginx 1.5.7 for SSL termination for my websites (no encryption betwwen nginx-origin servers).

This is my test result: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/131209_M2_BYF/1/details/ you can see it took more than 9 seconds for initiation

My SSL config part in nginx.conf:

ssl_session_cache shared:TLSSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-RC4-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:HIGH:!kEDH:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL:!DH:!EDH:!AESGCM;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_certificate server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key server.key;

I know it have to trade on high encryption, but 9 seconds is too slow to init a new connection. I highly appreciate your comments to help me to reduce that waiting time. Thanks.
