xmltrac over https/ssl very slow with mylyn/eclipse connector and apache/mod_wsgi

[anonymous]

(Context: Moving a single user tracd to apache server based solution(linux-sled)).

Everything works fine except mylyn connections over https. With http to trac I get sub-second responses whereas over https I'm getting 30-40 seconds for each "submit" or "synchronise" in mylyn.

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this effect and can offer any pointers to solutions / debugging etc.

Detail: For a "submit" of a changed ticket in mylyn I see (in the apache error_log) that 12 HTTPS requests are made, e.g.:

[Wed Dec 17 21:19:07 2008] [info] Initial (No.1) HTTPS request received
        for child 5 
:
[Wed Dec 17 21:19:10 2008] [info] [client 192.168.1.36] Connection closed to chi
ld 5 with standard shutdown (server :443)
:
( ... until (end of 12th request)... )
:
[Tue Dec 16 21:19:57 2008] [info] Initial (No.1) HTTPS request received
        for child 9 

For info, when using trac in firefox client (http or https) -> response time all sub-second.

Config -python 2.5 -latest mod_wsgi for apache -xmlrpc.../trunk for trac -eclipse 3.4 latest updates -latest mylyn trac connector -logtype = stderr
