OpenSSL v3 performance regressions
Hello,
I read this article from Haproxy, they noticed OpenSSL v3 has huge
performance regressions :
https://github.com/haproxy/wiki/wiki/SSL-Libraries-Support-Status#openssl
This is a known issue :
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/17627#issuecomment-1060123659
Unfortunately, v3 is shipped with many distributions (Debian, Redhat,
Rockylinux...) : https://pkgs.org/search/?q=openssl
I am afraid of users will face performance issues once they update their
distro.
Does someone already encounter problems? Should Postgres support
alternative SSL libraries has HAProxy?
Regards,

PostgreSQL can be built with LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL, which may or may not
be a better option performance wise for a particular application. Benchmarking
your workload is key to understanding performance, a lot of the regressions
pointed to in that blogpost wont affect postgres.
