But there's a trade-off; it makes it easier to use, but slows down the execution time. Of course, for most applications a single secret sharing and an opening is affordable. Another potential issue is that some runtimes may require prss in order to share and/or open values. That would give us kind of a chicken-egg problem. Anyway, the best solution may be to let it up to each runtime to decide what to do on startup and which parameters to use.
