Well a blacklist wouldn't be too bad if you could find a decent source for the info. I haven't been able to find anything tho.

The SSL packets themselves shouldn't be creating any kind of bottleneck that I can think of, SSL puts a load on a server when that server has to actually decrypt it (like on the web server), otherwise it's just a normal packet as far as a router or whatever is concerned isn't it?
If the Tor users are setting up the app as a server though that will generate extra bandwidth, though Tor usually tries to be pretty light in that respect, only 20KB/s by default I think (though they can crank that up).
