I'm just sitting here waiting for all the security fiasco to stop ruining performance for ridiculous unpractical attacks. Just a matter of time, the pressure for better performance in a world where moore's law is getting stuck will eventually cause every sane person to throw these ridiculous patches out of the window.
If the choice is between unsecure but fast to secure and slow, the default should be fast. Let applications who care about side channel deal with it their way, why the fuck should everything be so slow just so that few apps which actually care about side channel will be secure?
