I wish more ZK and FHE people would give their overhead as a ratio (time to compute in-cryptography vs time to compute raw), rather than just saying "we can do N ops per second"It's more hardware-independent, and it gives a very informative number: how much efficiency am I sacrificing by making my app cryptographic instead of trust-dependent?It's also often better for estimation because as a developer I already know how much time my computation takes to compute raw, so I can just multiply.(Yes, I know thi ...
