On a side note, a good feature for nginx would be a small SHM zone for
storing SSL certificates cross reload (paired with a filemtime value) to
speed up reloads.

I run alot of SSL certificates myself (not using SNI but unique IPs) around
300 per node (and 7 nodes refreshed up to every minute) and have noticed
the decent CPU percentage.
