So according to this test, this page downloads roughly two times faster through Polipo/tor than through Privoxy/tor, right? > I also tested with another website (http://www.spiegel.de/): This test is not representative: this is an HTTP/1.0 site. There are fortunately very few of these left nowadays. (Interesting that you should have chosen to test with this particular site.) > Privoxy may have had a slight advantage here, because by removing > three tracking pixels it had to do three requests less. And notwithstanding the fact that you so carefully crafted this test to advantage Privoxy, Polipo/tor was still 13% faster? > It certainly looks like keep-alive's effects aren't big enough to > guarantee faster web browsing through Tor, though. I guess there's no point in continuing this discussion, then. Juliusz
