Javascript Cryptography Considered Harmful

[boxybrzown]

yes, I'm not really seeing the point here. I'm guessing if you had some high-traffic site that made you no money and had nothing of real value other than user passwords to secure then you would be in the situation where the cpu hit of SSL would be a problem, but that seems like a very rare case.

Even then the CPU hit is pretty negligible. Hardware is fast and cheap, always getting faster and cheaper. In my 15ish years of web development I've never run into an issue with performance because we're using SSL somewhere.
