I know SSL has a performance hit on your HTTP communication in terms of speed but is there much of a difference in the amount of data transferred?
ie, If a mobile device is paying a lot per kb, is there a huge difference? Does anyone have an estimate of how much of a difference?
Thanks for the help!

No, there is not much of a difference, neither in terms of “performance” nor in terms of bandwidth.
According to Google, a company one would hope is a reliable source on large-scale networking, the network-bandwidth overhead is less than 2%.
