Well, yes, the connection is encrypted by a block cipher - what did you expect? Are you disconnecting and reconnecting for every request or are you keeping the connection alive? The SSL opening handshake is very expensive. Are you using a debug or optimized OpenSSL library? It is normal that SSL connections are going to be significantly slower than plain connections. On a related note, Google wants the world to switch to HTTP/S and disallow HTTP. Regards
