I'd expect the limiting fact in that to be the memory not the CPU
speed.  Machines of that caliber can handle huge numbers of web
connections without blinking much.  The number of TCP connections
won't be the limiting factor at all, I don't think.  The CPU speed
will certainly be affected by the continuous stream of cryptographic
connections, but unless you're doing something like using multiple
clients connecting at once you have no way to be sure that the server
is not the limiting factor there and not your client.
