Is it bad to have SSL lock on every page ?

I just purchased an SSL for my site. I want my customers to see that my website is secure, with the secure icon displayed on every page and not just the pages that require "user information".

So I've added the following lines to .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

Besides having slower load time, are there any other negatives to having SSL on every page ? :confused:

    If you don't need it why would you use it on every page...?
    Any logical, rational reason?

      In my opinion, it looks "better" to have HTTPS:// with the secure icon as soon as the user enters the site, instead of having to wait to add their info to know that the site is secured.

      Basically, I want them to know it is secure from the moment they enter my site. I just want to know if it will hurt my site in any way. I have heard that it affects Google rankings negatively because of the slower loading time.
