      On Windows, OCSP information for certificates is retrieved as part of GetCertificateChain. If the OCSP information is not cached, Windows will synchronously make requests for OCSP and/or CRL information. If these OCSP and/or CRL servers are slow to respond, this gives the user a poor user experience and may cause overall connection timeouts.

      We should warn users if connections take more than a certain threshold, say 5 seconds.
