Does the dramatic speed difference between the "non-conforming" implementation and V8 mean that current Node typed arrays are not memory-safe and you may get C-style buffer overflow vulnerabilities when using them?

"Non-conforming" only means they didn't completely adhere to the ES specification. There should be no possibility of buffer overflow.
