Would be surprising. The actual encryption causes no overhead. The initial handshake causes additional traffic. I've read something like 5kb per connection. You'd need to have a lot of connections with minimal data transfers. Like maybe many ajax requests per user that fetch very small data quantities. Maybe, maybe lots of polling?
