> For the ED25519, the key size should be 256 or larger.
This tripped my bullshit filter. ED25519 is 256 bits always: https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/

Those numbers are clearly nonsense; notice how the smaller ones don't even scale with key size. That paper is flawed. They obviously made a mistake.
Look at the ed25519 benchmarks:
https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/
71000 signature verifications per second and 109000 signature generations per second on a quad-core machine. That is much, much faster than RSA.
