libssl has an option, SSL_NO_LOCKS, which Sun/Oracle implemented to improve performance on servers. If we can ensure that I/O operations on SSL connections are only done on the socket transport thread (generally true in mozilla-central Gecko, but not in Mail/News), then we could disable this locking in Gecko too. I have not measured this yet to see what, if any, performance benefit there would be.
