Steve,
I just read an article in Information Security
magazine. The numbers are horrible. Expect an order of
magnitude (or 2) difference in performance between SSL and non-SSL
serving.
The most striking example was ~2000 connections/s w/o SSL
vs ~14 connections/s w/SSL. I'm not sure of the legal repercussions
of printing the all the numbers. The article is not on their
homepage (as near as I can tell).
