Re: Curl + OpenSSL 3.x is painfully slow on windows

Yeah, I'm aware.
I maybe​ could live the other perf. regressions, even though they altogether cost me ~30% drop in rq/s,
but that one was huuuuge.

For that specific one one could actually do what I did - let curl read the bundle by itself, and
provide it as blob to OpenSSL. I don't know if that's viable though.

OK, I used the wrong words 😄
If I understand the code correctly, it'd work for the easy interface, if the easy handles are re-used.
Unfortunatelly, this is not the case in our codebase (again, there are architectural reasons why it
cannot be easily changed 🙁 ).

Do you think I could implement the caching by myslef by forcing OpenSSL to parse the bundle once
and then just injecting it into the SSL Context using CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION?

I kinda don't want to go back to 1.1.x, but if I cannot keep the performance on a manageble level,
I might be forced to.
