Looking at the cipher list from my OpenSSL (Fedora 23 OpenSSL), there are
only 8 ciphers left for the cipher suite that Tomcat uses [and TLS 1.2 and
a RSA certificate]. Half with DHE, half with ECDHE. ab refuses to connect
to JSSE with ECDHE and AES 256. With AES 128, a recent JDK 8 worked, but
not OpenJDK 8 from Fedora [which is unusable at the moment since browsers
refuse to connect as well].
So here's the result array (in k reqs/s):
___________________________________________ OpenSSL
JSSE APR
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH 63 NA
67
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH____ 37 NA
37
DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH____ 22 30
22
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH______ 20 28
20
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH 65 30
70
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH____ 45 29
45
DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH____ 22 29
23
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH______ 20 28
20
So OpenSSL is much faster for me for ECDHE, but not with DHE. Browsers use
ECDHE.
