The original example, but using SSL options optimized for speed by disabling
compression and selecting only fast block cipher cipher suites and using a
precomputed private key \fBleaf.key\fP for the forged certificates
(most significant speed increase is gained by choosing fast algorithms and
small keysizes for the CA and leaf private keys; check \fBopenssl speed\fP for
algorithm performance on your system and note that clients may not support all
algorithms and key sizes):

suites they consider weak.
