[10] RFR : 8186628 : SSL session cache can cause a scalability bottleneck

[Xuelei Fan]

Hi Ivan,

I understand the desire of performance improvement.  But I don't think 
avoiding the use of cache is the price we want to pay for.  Besides, 
avoiding using of session cache is not something improving the 
performance in general, it is typically something impacting the 
performance,  a lot sometimes.
