Oh really, "it has been stated".  By who?  Overall, I doubt that all
of our security technologies add more than about 2% of a performance
hit.  Even a 'make build' on most architectures did not add that.  I
think you need to go back and read my slides again.  Spreading lies
about 5-10% performance hits is just not kind to our efforts.
