Description

The java-driver recently added support for using netty openssl via netty-tcnative in JAVA-841, this shows a very measured improvement (numbers incoming on that ticket). It seems likely that this can offer improvement if implemented C* side as well.

Since netty-tcnative has platform specific requirements, this should not be made the default, but rather be an option that one can use.
