I just read this paper, and while it is somewhat interesting, I don't think the walls of cryptography are in any danger of crumbling.
People employing systems like PGP are already advised to use them on private machines, with only one user, and untampered-with binaries.
Timings like the ones listed are trivial to take in establishing things like SSL sessions, or Photuris sessions. The danger is to online protocols, not to PGP. Any reason you felt you had to say this anonymously? Perry
