> I don't know if it has been mentioned here already, but Intel has recently released a research about TLS and specifically TLS 1.2 speed as well. They claim to have reached 1 Gbps throughput with a single general purpose core on their Core i7 processor using AES-128 GCM as the cipher and quite high speeds with AES-128 CBC + SHA1 as well. The research paper is somewhat of an Intel advertisement, but demonstrates well the acceleration that modern processors provide for encryption purposes. Computation doesn't seem to be a huge issue here.

Forgot the actual link to the paper for people interested.
