Encryption Overhead

Does anyone have any information I can look at that may show me what resource overhead I may see by using encryption in SS2K5?

I am interested in memory consumption and other metrics of that nature when encrypting and decrypting data.

Especially when you have several hundred to several thousand connections.

Thanks ALL!

Resource consumption is highly scenario dependant. 20% more cpu consumption is a rough guesstimate but it can be much better or worse depending on algorithm and the nature of the data being encrypted.

Hope that helps,
