=== SSL Performance Enhancements ===


We will work to further improve NSS's software SSL performance. The multiprecision arithmetic ("big num") library and some algorithms (such as SHA-1) will be heavily optimized. For additional performance boost, the SSL library can be configured to call the low-level crypto library (libfreebl.a) directly, bypassing the PKCS #11 layer. (Note: applications using NSS wanting to run in FIPS 140-2 mode will need to leave the bypass turned <i>off</i> (which is the default) to remain compliant. For other restrictions applications need to observe when using NSS to remain compliant, please see the [[FIPS Application Requirements]] page ***CREATE PAGE!!**
