Expected increase in CPU load for HTTPS and WSS

I have a DAQ system with Webservices (serving pages, streaming over sockets etc) but currently only with HTTP and WS ie unencrypted.

Before I go to HTTPS and maybe WSS I wanted to gain a feeling of how much computational load it will add going this next step.

Does anyong have any data for this for the Teensy 4.1? I am running QNEthernet lib.

I understand if serving pages over HTTPS then most browsers will not allow non secure websocket connections. I am streaming data at high rates using websockets so this is where the increased computational load would come from as I am not really concerned about the page serving.

Example wss stream would be 64ksps of 16 channels of 24bit data so 64000x16x4 = 4096kbytes/s so 40Mbit (+ overheads) sustained.
