Quick testing suggests that an Apache child process accumulates a  
similar amount of CPU time transferring large files as scp when using  
an SSL connection; if you access Apache via HTTP rather than HTTPS,  
it uses much less CPU than scp does.

Apache's been optimized to run quite well on a lot of platforms,  
although it is somewhat heavy-weight compared with a webserver  
oriented towards serving static files only.
