NGINX using 100% of the server CPU when testing with Blitz.io

Ok, just tested it with HTTP instead of HTTPS and while it did reach 100% of
CPU usage from time to time, the average load was 50% and the Blitz.io test
was a lot better:
- 33,086 HITS WITH 29 ERRORS & 2,344 TIMEOUTS

Why would SSL perform so badly? I generated the key with 4096 instead of
2048, but I don't believe that would affect CPU usage this much.
