Sounds very interesting.

What key length did you use?
A while back I've heared rumors that the controller could take minutes
for the asymetric encryption used to establish a connection and that
small key lengths have to be used to work around.
Since SAM7XC only has hardware support for symetric cryptography it
can only help for the data transfer itself.
But I always had doubts about that rumours, because SSL establishing
time with FreeBSD on AT91RM9200 is quite decent.
The RM92000 is much faster of course, but not that much to explain
requiring minutes on the X256.
