Throttle https virtual server requests, with non terminated ssl connections

Double check your key sizes and make sure that you're not using 4096-bit keys. Only 512, 1024, and 2048-bit are handled by the Cavium chip. 4096-bit keys are selectable from the Web UI, but will not be offloaded and will instead be handled by the x86 processor. This can cause performance degradation under load. This article indicates that keys larger than 4096-bit will use software encryption : SOL10580: Change in Behavior: Maximum supported key size for BIG-IP Client SSL and Server SSL profiles.
