  Binary package hint: python2.6

  Taken from the upstream Python bug:

    The ssl module sets a "debug" flag on the OpenSSL SSL struct at the
  end of PySSL_SSLdo_handshake():

        self->ssl->debug = 1;

    The OpenSSL header files have this to say about this flag:

            /* set this flag to 1 and a sleep(1) is put into all SSL_read()
             * and SSL_write() calls, good for nbio debuging :-) */
            int debug;

  In addition to fixing this in Maverick, this seems like a substantial
  enough performance impact and a trivial enough fix to be worth
  backporting as an SRU.
