Let's be clear about this. Back in 1995 when we were using sun4m and P90s with 16mb of RAM, SSL was a problem. More than 100 SSL users and the machine would suffer a bit.

Do you have 10-year old machines? Do you have more than 100 concurrent users? (at the same time?)

If both of these aren't true, you won't have any problems with SSL trust me ;-) My personal colo box is a bit outdated -- it's 1.67g with 1gig of RAM, and it is currently handling 200-250 concurrent SSL sessions without breaking 2% CPU.

The easiest thing for you to do is have the entire site in SSL. Is there a particular reason you only want the login credentials passed using secure
sockets layer?
