if the proxy is another host, I'd probably loose too much bandwith

The network is isolated from the outside worl,   BUT  we still need
authentication because different users are using it.

So what I preferably want is sort of a set up where,
authentication is done the "standard way" and after that just use the
https connection without the overhead of actually encrypting anything.
(and the lesss modifications and recompiling the better)

So rather than connecting directly to Apache, how about connecting to a TLS 
proxy like stunnel, which would then connect to Apache over vanilla HTTP. 
Configure Apache to only bind to loopback addresses (127/8 and/or ::1), so no 
one can bypass the proxy.

That's assuming stunnel doesn't also play silly buggers with the cipher suite 
list.
