[c-nsp] Any experience with SSL inside IPSEC 3DES tunnel?

The scenario is that a customer that had a hub and spoke frame-relay network
with 500 nodes (each is roughly a T1, but I don't have any details on
CIR/Port Speed) has changed to a VPN network using 3DES IPSEC. They are now
complaining that their major application (uses SSL for port/protocol) has
slowed way down. I was wondering if any of you have experience doing SSL via
IPSEC 3DES tunnel and whether there is much of a latency problem since the
traffic is basically encrypted / decrypted twice?
