A friend of mine worked on some large scale SSL deployment, he wrote up the results of his tests here: http://zombe.es/post/5183420528/accelerated-ssl http://zombe.es/post/5183420528/accelerated-ssl He's concerned about the raw speed of the SSL calculations, not requests per second, but if you're actually concerned about SSL speed and you have enough requests per second to justify optimizing SSL speed, it could be pretty useful.
