Standard or OCSP Native Lib?

In the mirrors [1] there are two different versions of the native library: standard (presumably) and OCSP. I gathered that the OCSP versions has OCSP support. Is this support still experimental? Which one should you use? I assume since both are still provided that there are reasons that you might pick either over the other. Can anyone shed some light on when you would pick standard and when you would pick OCSP?

Thanks.

That's what I was looking for. I didn't see any indication anywhere that OCSP came with a performance hit, so my thought was, "why wouldn't you just always use the OCSP version?" Thanks for clarifying this.

That would certainly be an improvement, in my mind. :-)

Thanks,

I think that's usage is self explanatory. Use OCSP if you need OCSP :)
Otherwise it'll just slow you down.

Since the current implementation does not have enable/disable configuration
the only way was to make it compile time enabled/disabled.

In future I see those two will become one version with runtime selection.
