I'm looking for recommendations & experiences on TSM SSL.

There is interest from our security group here in enabling SSL for TSM 
sessions.  Naturally, the easiest plan for the security folks would be to just 
enable it for everything.  There is guidance in the IBM documentation to only 
use it where it is needed, and to consider adding server resources if you use 
it.  I'm looking for something a little more quantifiable.  Are there any rules 
of thumb out there that would be helpful?

Also, does anyone know if encryption chips are available on p-Series servers 
that TSM SSL can make use of?

Thanks in advance.
..Paul
