the vast mayority of users will be happy with a more secure system and will like accept a 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1% slowdown in case it is slow..

Who is "the masses"? Almost everybody I know isn't the masses and is concerned about performance in production. And performance hits are cumulative - ignore 1% performance hit 10 times and you have 10% at least...
maybe I can check that tomorrow.. but you can also run it by yourself :P
