Slowness is an idiotic goal: slow on slower hardware is fast on faster hardware and slow on faster hardware is unusable on slower hardware. The goal should be a minimum level of security that is still practically secure, and something without a backdoor/easily churnable with adequate hardware. Do you think anything that the majority use today is adequate? I don't. So I think this is all bullshit.
