Description

Note that RustCrypto performance is generally inferior than ring

I don't think we can state this unless we have benchmarks :)

What should we measure ? We need fruits to fruits comparisons - 🍎 vs 🍏

I'm thinking throughput, session establishment etc stuff - all needs to be in localhost

We need also to use rustls consistently between providers -

I'll take a crack doing some after I finish the internal integration tests which may potentially serve base for the benches as well

Research direction

Start with the internal integration tests mentioned in the issue, since they may provide a base for the benchmarks. Define comparable localhost measurements for throughput and session establishment, using rustls consistently between providers; done means benchmark results that support or challenge the performance claim.
