I saw in an earlier thread that wildcard certs won't be supported at first, but possibly in the future. An additional comment was made that wildcard certs wouldn't be necessary once the cert issuing/renewal process is automated.

My question is: wouldn't wildcard certs be faster if the behavior on your site skipped around different subdomains? One certificate for all vs individual certs for each subdomain. I may be way off, I'm a novice when it comes to SSL/TLS handshake so please correct my ignorance.
