reverse ssl proxy - speed & jitter

[newnovice]

What is the fastest SSL connection setup time that anyone can achieve? and
also how do i reduce the jitter/variance.. 

so what settings should I take out & what shud i have - do you have an
example of an optimal config? 

the logs are turned off to see first if this is even a viable option, i can
turn up debug and check stuff if needed.
