Yes and yes to both questions above (you basically answered your own
question :).  It does force the SSI parsing engine to be run on all .html
pages, even if they don't contain any SSI directives.  However, if your
client is making extensive use of SSI for something like footers/headers,
than the CPU processing requirements would be far less compared to using a
CGI based solution.

As long as they can provide sufficient evidence that they make extensive use
of SSI, then I'd say allow it.
