How about if your connections were encrypted (SSL?). Would it make much difference? - Stephan

Do you mean connections to the queue server, or outgoing connections? In either case, it would affect it only slightly (I imagine) if the connections were persistent, as they are in this case. If you're regularly opening and closing connections, the SSL handshake is far more expensive.
