I wouldn't expect that the number of cores would affect the number of
concurrent SSL sockets you are able to accept and handshake; this
would seem to be a function of the I/O subsystem of the machine and OS
(as seems to be demonstrated by the relatively low CPU usage). OpenSSL
itself may be part of the problem.

When you say that "the connection is then transferred to the core
application", are you saying it is no longer being handled via asio?
