Thanks Maxim and GreenGecko for the insights


The worker process does match my number of cpu cores (running on 8 cores atm)


How can i know the number of handshakes per seconds occurring on the server

The openssl speed result have been posted on http://pastebin.com/hNeVhJfa for readability


You can find my full list of ssl ciphers here ---> http://pastebin.com/7xJRJgJC

If you can suggest "faster ciphers" with same level of compatibility , i would be awesome

Will a faster cpu actually solve the issue ?
My cpu load never reached a value > 0.50 as far as i know and average is like 0.30
