Https is taking 4 seconds on first request while http is lightening fast.

Please help me out   I have one http VS and one https VS (client side profile attached) and I am using the same pool for both.   In client side profile I configured client certificate ignored....

May be you can do a wireshark on the client machine and see what's happening during and after SSL handshake but before browser do the GET request.

Also, can try the curl from cmd line to see if really slowness is in LTM 

curl -w '\nLookup time:\t%{time_namelookup}\nConnect time:\t%{time_connect}\nPreXfer time:\t%{time_pretransfer}\nStartXfer time:\t%{time_starttransfer}\n\nTotal time:\t%{time_total}\n' -o /dev/null -s https://192.168.1.1/

I might also recommend adding the '-vv' option to curl in Kunjan's suggestion to increase verbosity. It may help indicate if a particular portion of the negotiation/connection is hanging. -Ed
