There are hardware SSL accelerators that you can buy (quite expensive) which
offload the CPU-intensive encryption algorithms, freeing up your CPU to do
other things.

Personally, I think a better approach is to use a load-balanced set of
proxy/SSL servers, as Stas describes in the guide.  Commodity PC hardware
running Linux has a much better performance/price ratio than expensive,
single-purpose SSL accelerators.
