I put together a multi-way messaging system supporting over 2000
simultaneous persistent connections. During my initial design, I was
concerned that the encryption would become an issue, especially with
that many connections. So, we purchased some pretty burly hardware to
support the application ( Dual 2.0 GHz Xserve G5 ). It turns out that
the encryption has almost no impact on performance and that machine
spends most of its time at 95% idle.

the current hardware is like Athlon XP 1.5Ghz - 2Ghz class with
.5GiB - 1GiB of RAM so it should be ok if not some other services
provided by another dev team use up too much CPU.
we're doing performance tests exactly for that, so problems should
be detected early.
