Rustls Multi-Threaded Performance Is Battering OpenSSL


The Rustls project as a modern TLS library written in the Rust programming language and an alternative to the likes of the widely-used OpenSSL and Cloudflare's BoringSSL has published some new performance figures

The Rustls project as a modern TLS library written in the Rust programming language and an alternative to the likes of the widely-used OpenSSL and Cloudflare's BoringSSL has published some new performance figures. The Rustls project last week posted some new benchmarks looking at the multi-threaded server performance of BoringSSL, OpenSSL, and Rustls atop Debian 12 running on an Ampere Altra Q80-30 processor. The results are performance per thread, so the flat line is ideal performance as seen with Rustls and BoringSSL up through the 80 physical cores on this ARM64 server processor.
