[7u6] Request for approval for CR 7157903: JSSE client sockets are very slow

[Brad Wetmore]

Hi Ismael,

I assume you mean 7u4?  ;)  I preferred it, but that build is in 
showstopper mode only at this point.  We missed the final code freeze by 
a few days.

This issue only affects block-oriented ciphersuites (e.g. AES/DES). 
Stream-oriented ciphers (e.g. RC4) do not have this problem.

There is an updated workaround posted to the bug if you are using 
HTTPS/LDAP where you don't have direct access to the underlying SSLSocket.

Brad
