HTTP vs HTTPS (Significant Latency Issues)

I've noticed something very peculiar... requests over HTTP take 400-500MS which is an acceptable amount of time, but simply switching over to HTTPS, requests take anywhere from 1 - 1.5s.

This seems unusual to me. Why does HTTPS double the latency/request time?
