Thought people here might find this interested with regard to the performance
issue raised in the earliest 2004 comments (more than 6 years ago):
> In January this year (2010), Gmail switched to using HTTPS for everything by
> default. Previously it had been introduced as an option, but now all of our
> users use HTTPS to secure their email between their browsers and Google, all
> the time. In order to do this we had to deploy no additional machines and no
> special hardware. On our production frontend machines, SSL/TLS accounts for
> less than 1% of the CPU load, less than 10KB of memory per connection and
> less than 2% of network overhead. Many people believe that SSL takes a lot of
> CPU time and we hope the above numbers (public for the first time) will help
> to dispel that.
> If you stop reading now you only need to remember one thing: SSL/TLS is not
> computationally expensive any more.
