Quoting:

    (on an 8 core server...)
    haproxy direct: 6,000 requests per second
    stunnel -> haproxy: 430 requests per second
    nginx (ssl) -> haproxy: 90 requests per second
Yet Matt Cutts tells us that SSL is not computationally expensive anymore. Based on these results it's still an order of magnitude slower.
