Good day

I am looking at Mellanox ConnectX-5/6 to offload TLS for a load balancer, in this case Traefik or HAProxy.
For me latency and quick response time is the most important part right now and I wonder if the ConnectX can give me an advantage or is it not needed?
Am I thinking right? I have just used more simple nics before so this is something new for me.
