Thanks for your conclusion!

Interesting...

I use normal harddisks with software raid and LVM. And a qcow2-image for
the virtualisation.

> If you have the RAM for it, you should be able to put tls_sessions.db on a tmpfs filesystem.  This database is only a cache, so nothing valuable will be lost if the machine is rebooted; and as a cache, it benefits from being on the fastest storage you have available. :)
I will think about it, not sure how big it is.
