The very least the only kind of replies my example task (4) led to
were of this kind, so you can get a clear sense of whether the
community values performance over security. :)

I happen to think that performance and security both matter and are
related (since if performance regresses enough, then people end up
using the faster but insecure thing).  This has shown up in the
history of SSL, for example.  But I am very happy to see people
focusing more on the security properties than the performance
properties --- that is a correct prioritization.
