I'd suggest using a touch of code in application.cfm that sniffed the
requested URL for the areas that you wanted to secure, then rewriting
and cflocating to the secure url for that resource.

Running the entire site under SSL is a performance consideration that
depends mostly on how your SSL traffic is being managed - either by
the webserver or some outside box.  It's not the fastest way to do
things, but it saves a lot of headaches.

Application and session variables are completely unaffected by the use of ssl.
