Questions about VPN phases on cisco

Hello I have a GRE+IPSEC tunnel between two routers

HQ C2651XM with AIM VPN EP ios 12.4(15)T9 and C831 12.4(18)

phase 1

3des sha group2

phase 2

3des esp sha

-----------------------

Question 1)

Both the ciscos have 3des/des hardware assisted encryption so I don't get any performance hit using that cyphers.

The phase 1 is used only to establish tunnel, right? So if I put for example

phase1: aes 256 sha group 5

I just use more cpu cycles at the establishment of the tunnel, but once the tunnel is established I don't have any performance hit?

question 2)

In a gre+ipsec tunnel is the same, to apply the crypto map on the phisical interface where the tunnel is terminated, or applying the tunnel security ipsec... on the tunnel interface? I think that applying a tunnel security policy on the tunnel, changes the tunnel from GRE to IPSEC tunnel ipv4. right?

thank you
