I seem to remember Theo saying that if it is that slow then even worse; people won't use encryption at all and if they need side channel resistance then they could get a processor with AES-NI etc.. Not sure if it was reverted in the end or not. I guess it was decided upon whether a use case including a side channel attack existed and could catch a user out, but I have no idea.
