I noticed webservice performance downgraded after certificate got expired. However webservice-client app developed in a way to ignore possible certificate problems.

Is that possible that bad certificate can cause webservice-client app performance downgraded ? Can somebody point me on MSDN article confirming that ?

Update : I'm more interested from webservice-client app performance point of view.

For example: if client app (with patch to skip certificate errors) consuming web-service, will it work slower if certificate is expired ?

I suspected there will be some milliseconds on re-handshake or anything like that on every request if certificate is wrong.

In technical manner it may not downgrade webservice performance but it can in general manner. Certificate expiry or non-trusted certificate will cause warning message in the browsers which can lead normal visitor to leave the website with the assumption of dead/sick website.

We can't assume that all visitors coming to the site, will have technically background to understand and proceed on the website.
