Glad to see that part of the human race is still on the track to practical innovation (collision avoidance, small footprint, performance) as opposed to the perpetual Moore's Law paranoia arms race (crypto-secure, more bits, more rounds, constant utilization regardless of input to deter side channel attack). If you're the slightest bit security conscious you realize that there is NO level below which security is not a factor. If that is the deciding factor these compromises (or as they would tell it, lack of compromise) will decrease overall UTILITY of technology and also increase its FRAGILITY. The move to aggressively force HTTP to HTTPS even for Joe's Who Cares Web Site for no specifically stated reason is a prime example. If rounds and loops were temperature, it is as if we're shoving the Internet into thermal overload beyond convection cooling, without performing any additional useful work. Meltdown mitigation is like economic inflation. A general performance decrease for a worst case threat scenario. What price, paranoia? Is there an upper limit?
