-1 in this respect; faster is not more secure.  We must default to setting
the strictest cipher choices, with a commented-out "this is faster, but far
less secure" alternative for those with less targeted assets.

If someone is enabling mod_ssl, it is to secure their traffic, not to speed
up their server.

And no, MD4, although immune to *this* vector, is simply not preferable.
