1.	Customer  increased the encryption key size required during the Diffie-Hellman session key exchange, from 1024 bits to 2048  bits. Most of the time was spent on DH Computation. But could not reproduce 20 folds as said by the customer.
2.	For constant input client requests =3000 ,DH=2048 , the Cpu-Busy-Time clearly jumped from 15.43 sec to 128.98 sec an approx 9x increase .
3.	For constant input client requests =3000 , DH=2048  ,the Turn around time  clearly jumped from 7.4 Minutes  to 24.9 Minutes  an approx 3.3x increase .
4.	Using different ciphers and hashalgoritms AES-256-CBC-SHA256, AES-256-CBC-SHA1 is not making much difference .
5. gmp function __gmpn_addmul_1 alone uses 51.35% of the total processing tim for DH=1024.
6, gmp function __gmpn_addmul_1 alone uses 81.46% of the total processing time  for DH= 2048
