Does anyone know of any sites or baseline metrics with info as to the impact of changing from a 128-bit certificate to a 256 on the server load?
 
I would think there would be very little difference in cpu useage, depending on hits, relistically it is just a file being served up, it may increase your bandwidth useage marginally. Then again I could be wrong, so I would test it, fire up a vm with iis, and 128bit certs, then right a script to hammer the page, then upgrade to 256bit and do likewise... I think you will see little difference.
