What does slower actually mean? Slower in the face of safety, while computers continue to get faster and or cheaper (depending on how you spend your transistors/cost) is a fools paradise. Don't be baited into their flawed logic. If your transistor/cost curve has a doubling time of 3 years, 156 weeks. A 5% difference is approximately 11 weeks. If your transistor/cost curve has a doubling time of 2 years, a 5% difference is approximately 8 weeks. How fast do we have to get before safety is table stakes? Focusing on raw unsafe speed wouldn't be a normalized metric in any other industry. I'll spend 8-11 weeks of performance gains on correctness. C was an inside job.
