I've noticed that HTTPS is still much much slower than HTTP.

Can someone help me understand this?  Is it really the case that the encryption/decryption is so intensive that it makes it so slow?

I guess the bottleneck is probably the server, which may be handling many HTTPS requests simultaneously?

Anyone know?

Thanks.
