Generally you want cryptographic primitives to run extremely fast though. This just comes across as something useful for the "I need to protect my source from hackers!!!" types who don't care if it makes their program stupidly inefficient. The only difference being that here it can't be reverse engineered (usually a bad thing for people who like FLOSS). Yeah there are imaginary uses for running code in an insecure environment but that comes across as an afterthought and has the same problems.
