  It should, as encryption/decryption is done on a packet basis. You can send 1 Mb packet or 1000 1k packets.

    Per-packet overhead dominates over per-byte overhead. This is true for almost all network functions, even if they perform heavy calculation on the payload like encryption. So large packets will always be better for your network.
