> Processing a chunked SSL response of 221 characters, I found I was waiting over three seconds for the entire response to be read. Upon investigation, this appears to be happening because the decrypt method in SSLIOSession does not decrypt everything in the encrypted buffer at one go. Because of this, portions of my response didn't get processed via the processing of the events, but rather via the BaseIOReactor's validate method which means I experienced multiple select interval timeouts prior to the message being fully processed. In reviewing the java nio documentation for the unwrap method of the sslEngine, the comments in the javadoc state: "This method will attempt to consume one complete SSL/TLS network packet". It appears that one time through the decrypt method decrypted small packets with almost no data in them, leaving encrypted data waiting. As an experiment, I changed the code in isAppInputReady in SSLIOSession to call decrypt in a loop until everything in the en
> crypted buffer was processed and bingo the response processed in under 5ms.
> Unfortunately, I do not have a "sharable" test case as the server side for this case is inside a corporate filrewall. In theory this should be reproducable with any server over an SSL connection getting a chunked response. 
> I have a current "patch" for this issue as follows in SSLIOSession.isAppInputReady, but I will feel much more comfortable with and "official" patch
>     public synchronized boolean isAppInputReady() throws IOException {
>         int bytesRead = receiveEncryptedData();

>         //Presumedly, when there are multiple network packets, we only decode one
