Randy, I'd call Netscape tech support or post to secnews:netscape.server
if you believe you're having problems. The SSL handshake does degrade
server performance significantly. I believe I saw something to the effect
that you get about 1/10th the performance with SSL connections.
This posting is rather off-topic for www-security.
