Hi,

I am running pound in front of varnish on a fairly busy site (10-20
requests/second on https) called twitrss.me.

Varnish responds very quickly - I can serve http-only requests
reasonably fast.

Over https, however, performance is very slow.

I've not done anything especially clever with the configuration[*] but I
wonder if there are any tips for tracking down performance bottlenecks
or improving performance that folks on the list may be able to share?

Cheers,
