I wish there was a flag you could set on a CPU that would switch it between "fast" and "safe" modes. Security conscious stuff could switch it into safe mode and then it could be switched back to fast mode for general computation. I don't like that everything has to get 25% slower because your SSL session setup needs to be protected.
