I don't think that network (http/tcp/ip) headers cause that big overhead now :) Yes, it depends on size of average requests... However we should count that into average size of request... > = 13 bits of encrypted (SSL) network traffic Interesting, I guess that mostly applies to SSL handshake overhead. I don't have the numbers but I guess encrypted text should not be much bigger than non-encrypted.
