I'm gonna say that's quite a bit of myth here. If SSL is important, get a cheap SSL enabled router. Doing software SSL is waste of CPU power and impacts the server's stability. Anyone that has a lot of HTTPS traffic shouldn't be using software SSL in my bias opinion. If you are so desparate that you need software SSL, as remy says, there's APR. no need to stick apache httpd infront.
