there is no such thing as sorta cache timing resistant. it either is
or isn't. if it isn't, we can talk about how hard to exploit.

the talk is not exactly consistent with itself in some regards. the
table at the end is very strict. but the earlier slides are much more
tolerant. i suspect the table was made early, and the slides were
modified later, but March will correct me on this one. the same thing
can be said about primitive replaceability. it is unsure in the
exposition, but counted in the table.

anyway, i think the table is fine, because gambit is in the 4 good
ones, so i agree :)
