Haven't bench marked it precisely, but it adds about two seconds of crypto
and a similar amount for the handshake. It is quite acceptable. Then of
course with session resumption the second connection to the server is very
fast and incurs a second or so of delay.
Certicom has a library, soon with RSA.
