actually, as using Insp and Unreal, i think its a good idea ;)

Dunno, for those who like GnuTLS more this would be good, but this performance is maybe because it uses a weaker encryption orso? I couldn't even establish a AES 256bit connection, "only" some three-ciphered 168bit connection, though that was between an OpenSSL'd client and a GnuTLS'd server... maybe if both were GnuTLS..., but still should have worked (provided GnuTLS does even support AES...)

GnuTLS is more secure than OpenSSL, since it doesn't support even support old insecure stuff like SSLv2

If you couldn't establish a 256bit AES connection with a GnuTLS server its because you did not do it right, as it most definetly supports it.
