I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a

certificate currently running on the Xeon machine.  Are these concerns
unfounded?

You will do better to get an Opteron based server. Opterons handle SSL faster, in fact much faster, than Intel Xeon processors not to mention that I/O on an Opteron box is better too. Stay away from Woodcrest Xeon servers. The US Government and a large korean ISP have had stability problems with Woodcrest servers.
