Load placed on server to perform encryption in SAP Secure Network Connection

When you use encryption, primary load is during initial handshake between client and server. At the time of initial handshake, keys are exchanged. Load of Secure Network Connection SNC using DIAG to HTTPS is different and can’t be compared.

With use of F5 servers, it can be used for software and hardware acceleration of HTTPS and not for DIAG protocol.
