Not that it's particularly expensive either. A single domain cert can be found for a few bucks, a wildcard for under 100.

Google saw a 1% increase in CPU usage when they made SSL mandatory for Gmail. http://highscalability.com/blog/2011/2/10/dispelling-the-new-ssl-myth.html http://highscalability.com/blog/2011/2/10/dispelling-the-new... https://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/06/25/overclocking-ssl.html https://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/06/25/overclocking-ssl.h...
