The variability is def a big deal, from a UX perspective, maybe even larger
one than raw speed---I can relate to the occasional Pyongyang circuits.
Out of curiosity, are there stats on the average speed (error bars would be
nice) over the past few years? Just curious. This would be helpful. Im

Mirimir, I understand you're saying faster HS-HS connections would be
jolly. But I didnt understand exactly why. This is to allow coordination
between hidden services? I get that coordination between HSs is cool, but
no immediate application comes to mind. Can you disabuse me of my

I'm very intrigued by possibilities of multiple hidden services with
fast HS-HS links via Tor. One use case would be the standard
front-end/back-end website design. Another would be "smart"
load-balancing
Thanks Sebastian G! I don't watch much Youtube, but blocked YouTube is a
great example! Thank you!! Uploads is also another great use case.
If porn isn't a sufficiently canon use-case, while behind Tor, I personally
find it difficult to enjoy the video content on NYTimes or the Washington

These have always worked perfectly fine.

Low bandwidth video from a good codec is not intolerable, and
reinforces good old fashioned content is more important than
needless
I am compiling a list of use cases that Tor's current slowness makes
impossible/unpleasant. Roger once said, "Whatever you use Tor for someone
will use it for something else."
So with this in mind I'm asking you all for things you (or others) would
like to do through Tor but slowness makes it too
