Description
I compared performance of openssl versions 1.1.1p and 3.1.0 using nginx 1.23.4 as a server and siege 4.1.6 as a client.
I tried three ciphers and in each of these benchmarks, 1.1.1 has better performance.
Is it a well known issue or the tests are not correct?
Thank you!
1.1.1 hits 3.1.0 hits
AES256-SHA256 18728 8134
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 16514 16015
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 76020 64967
siege command is :
siege -t1M -b https://localhost:4411
p.s. All tools have been built with default config options; nginx webserver returns its default page.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported comparison with OpenSSL 1.1.1p and 3.1.0, using nginx 1.23.4, siege 4.1.6, and the supplied siege command. Check the three listed ciphers and default configurations to determine whether the performance difference is reproducible and whether the benchmark setup supports the reported conclusion.
