This is a gruelling summary of all the things wrong with OpenSSL
https://www.haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-stacks I've mostly watched this whole thing from the sidelines, but was also affected noting that private key parsing suddenly became 70 times slower. I think they've now improved it to "only" be 10-20 times slower, and there does not seem any effort to work on it any more.
