I would think that a lack of persistent connections would _hurt_ and
not help the web case; you're going to get many SSL handshakes,
which are the expensive PKI part, while the persistent case will
likely do one handshake per client (rather than per request) to
negotiate a shared secret. (Using the shared secret as the basis of
SSL-encrypted connection handoff, rather than renegotiating the
session key when flipping to a new server, might make the handoff
less painful, though I'm assuming that you don't really care about
the endpoint authentication characteristics of the protocol, and
just the data integrity and obscurity elements. Or I guess you
could have a dedicated SSL machine that was just performing a
sustained MITM attack "against" your backend game servers, I
suppose, since you _probably_ trust the network at that point.)
It's been a while since I had to care about SSL at that level,
though, so I could be forgetting something key. (Ahem.)
