 This problem was discussed on the IRC (http://pastebin.com/jcWdPz4U). elb
 approved that it is a bug.

 When using Inspircd 2.0 and sending large SSL packets(4096 bytes)
 containing many lines, Pidgin is taking about 3 minutes to finish reading
 the introduction from the server. Pidgin times out until the server sends
 a ping, which then makes the socket readable, which explains the 3
 minutes. It essentially has to do with buffer handling.

 If the IRCD sends one line at a time, the socket will remain readable
 because SSL only eats one packet at a time. The main area where this
 problem exists is the whole irc_input_cb_ssl, which probably needs to be
 redone.
