I would say it depends on one of the following

If you haven't got any sort of accelerator card, what encryption 
algorithm you're using, and how CPU intensive it is, balanced with how 
much CPU your router can afford to give it, before your other traffic 
suffers the results.

What sort of "accelerator" card/module you have in the router, and how 
much of what algorithms it supports offloading to itself.
