It does not have any obvious match with the >latest https://github.com/openbsd/src/commits/master/usr.sbin/httpd commits. >From OpenBSD team: > o High CPU usage is a well-known issue of client-initiated > renegotiation. While this can cause higher than normal CPU usage, the > processes are still able to service requests. > As httpd uses LibreSSL's libtls, a sane TLS API on top of libssl, we > decided to disable client-initiated renegotiation for libtls servers > in -current.
