Good question.  (I don't have the answer.)

The SLEEP is from an older version of the code base (probably SSL-CMUCL
or so).  The comment and warning are mine.  I added them because I felt
uncomfortable leaving potentially performance-inhibiting behaviour in
there without even presenting users with a visible warning.

So far, I have not seen this code path being triggered.  I would prefer
to leave the warning in there until someone comes along who actually
understands OpenSSL blocking behaviour.
