yes, i know, but accoring to the blogpost below it should be no problem for newser browsers when using tls 1.2, but might e usefull to keep compatibility with very legacy clients, no?
disclaimer: i'm not a crypto-guru, the ciphers used are copypasta'd from https://www.ssllabs.com/projects/best-practices/.
from what i've learned with webservers it depends on implementation: cipher-suites, keep-alive, session-ticket-reusage etc. this pic shows the perfomance for a webserver w/ different cipher-suites: https://8ack.de/static/bimages/ssl_perftest_r1.jpg
speaking of webservers, if you use the usual performance-tweaks you wouldnt see a big performance-drawback from userperspective (YMMV)
sure, there exists a project already with a local copy of included sites; it would be ease (i think) to modify this project to download and evaluate a current db-copy on browser-start
