Current hardware trends make C++ exceptions harder...
I think he's arguing that C++ exceptions are unsuitable for parallel data processing, at least in cases where exceptions are regularly thrown.

If exceptions are regularly thrown the software has a bad design and must be fixed. Non-exceptional stuff must of course not be handled through exceptions - no exception should ever be thrown if the software operates as it is expected to.

There is the red flag: "regularly thrown". "Regularly" is opposite to "exceptionally".

Well of course, they are slow so they are unsuitable. The issue is whether they need to be slow.
