             Bug #: 901
           Summary: [METABUG] Give top priority to the PKCS11 NSS
                    provider, due to performance advantages
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: all
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: IcedTea7
        AssignedTo: ahughes at redhat.com

The NSS provider gives a performance advantage over the default, even without
AES hardware in place:

http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2012/03/14/openjdk-icedtea-nss-results-without-hardware-aes/

so we should consider altering the nss.cfg to place the provider as the main
provider (priority 1).

This bug tracks issues found when doing so.
