As to the performance aspect, if you're planning on running complex PHP scripts - especially as CGIs - *especially* a system that says this in its requirements: PHP4 must be installed on the webserver with access to a SQL database. (by which it means mysql, postgres, oracle, informix or ms-sql) then I very much doubt that the http server is going to become a performance bottleneck. As to security: since many SSL implementations have their roots in a small number of libraries, you may find that a vulnerability with one is a vulnerability with several platforms. (This isn't the case with stuff out of the DJB stable, however, 'cause he has a long history of not trusting anything written by others, and reimplementing it all himself from scratch.)
