I don't think that performance is a reason to keep the session after a switch because in the most

Just thinking that the overhead of encrypting data when https is used might be a cost that sites with a lot of traffic might prefer to avoid by using http for all but the authentication exchange.

In that case the session may as well be conducted in http (e.g. for performance reasons).
