In many cases the performance of security protocols is not a huge issue at all
with modern hardware.
There are a few important exceptions.

It has not been my experience that it is important to a level where
metrics are requested or used. Certainly performance is something we
think about, and it is something that does get measured from time to
time and there are certain people who care about security performance
a lot.
Leslie asked for comments from uninvolved parties and I'm giving my
personal opinion that I would not find this work useful. If others
do, we should go charter it.
