signing is heavy crypto work to do. You may vary the hash algorithm (
sha1 <-> sha256 )
and the signing key size ( 1024 bit or larger ... )
But I guess the keysize is not as important then the hash.
500k msg per hour equals to 138 messages per second. Assuming signing
one message take one second
you have 138 concurrent signing processes.
Last consider using hardware for crypto operations. But there is
virtually no known installation doing that.
