fast path? I don't think so... the modules allocate the ca_priv once per connection, at the beginning of the connection and only if that specific module needs that. Am I missing something?
Creating and destroying a connection is a fast path, that is what you miss. The performance of many workloads is directly dependent upon how fast we can create and tear down a TCP connection.
