SSL slow on nginx

[khav]

Thanks Maxim and GreenGecko for the insights


The worker process does match my number of cpu cores (running on 8 cores
atm)


How can i know  the number of handshakes per seconds occurring on the
server

The openssl speed result have been posted on http://pastebin.com/hNeVhJfa
for readability


You can find my full list of ssl ciphers here --->

If you can suggest "faster ciphers" with same level of compatibility , i
would be awesome

Will a faster cpu actually solve the issue ?
My cpu load never reached a value > 0.50 as far as i know and average is
like 0.30
