The researchers published a list of mitigations they believe will address the vulnerabilities allowing both the FLOP and SLAP attacks. They said that Apple officials have indicated privately to them that they plan to release patches.

So this'll likely be mitigated soon, and while you're probably right about the performance hit (which will likely be minor), I don't think (most) Apple users need to be very worried about this.
