   Apparently, Intel processor's for over the past decade are allowing   
   speculative execution of code without any privilege checks.  The exact   
   specifics of the flaw are apparently still secret.  The software   
   patches to fix these issues for Windows, Linux, and Mac's are believed   
   to kill processor performance by up to 30%.
