Cryptoexperts must be one of the most impressive research and consulting private company that I know of (in Cryptography). Antoine Joux and Pascal Paillier are there...
If I have a very large setup that does a lot of crypto, is there not a chance that this can save me a shit ton in cpu cycles?
One of the main reasons that admins didn't turn on crypto by default until the snowden leaks was because of the CPU overhead on the servers. (I don't know in google's case but that's when they turned it on)
It's not hard to imagine that if I was doing a lot of crypto (or a lot of connections) that strong efficient crypto would be on my list of things to keep track of.
