Except that the non-https version may be used several times in unauthenticated documents and will be cachable whilst the https one won't be cachable (if I understand things correctly) and will have to be retrieved each and every time. And that's what we should all be working to avoid IMHO. The web is too slow much of the time as it is, and this is common experience here even though we have a fast SMDS pipe to the rest of the world. Pity the poor sods with 28.8K modems behind a congested commerical ISP.
