Not necessarily so noticable. I've been running my personal site with https and the effect is fairly minor on the whole in terms of load times. Not zero, but low enough that your average user on the other side of the Atlantic wouldn't notice much of a difference to normal.

Admittedly this is a poor comparison vs a huge site, but then you'll probably find the server processing time is your greater foe.
