PWS--some operational questions

If I were to run PWS as a webserver on the Internet, I would want the
following basic information:
1. load-testing data--any available?
2. major security liabilities--is there anything inherent in either
the PWS code, or any other Squeak code in the base system which would
provide hackers with opportunities for sabotage, either of the running
image or the underlying OS?
3. Support for security layer (SSL or other)?
I bring these issues up because I assume that in offering PWS and
associated sw, the development team wishes it to be used in the real
world. One aspect of the real world (i.e., the Internet), is the very
real danger of losing one's data and/or system to malicious
individuals.
Knowing a bit about the current status of PWS, I realize that (3) is
not yet a reality. Any plans?
Thanks for any info/thoughts.
