Scott - please! We need to raise the level of discussion here.

SSL overhead on the *network* and on the XS cpu, though Carol rightly
points out we don't need to carry that in all the traffic. There is a
_ton_ of work on the PKI side, and she's volunteered to work on that
though :-)

The REAL question here is how do we stop this list being armchair
quaterbacking, and start fostering coding work. This thread is a bad
bad start. Someone has done a TON of work on Browse, and here is a ton
of people ready to throw it out hte window based on opinions. That is
*stupid*. Consider replacing it when someone comes up with *working
code*.

Wake me up when someone has working code - the rest is *noise*.

cheers,
