What are the current limitations of private transactions, are they slower than the normal ones?

Not sure what you are trying to say about the papers. I saw they were academic and theoretical.

The current limitations of private transactions are essentially that they are slow and that they don't support things like multisig or timelocks. All of these limitations are being worked on.

The academic paper you refer to had both a theoretical construction and an implemented system.
