Since I have yet to look into this on either side I'm going to guess the speed up makes tor Ignore connection to slow nodes - CaptainJohny you saying that by doing that traffic analysis is easier(I'm guessing because they could have control of nodes and you're guessing that most of the fast nodes are rouge)? What type of traffic analysis. Perhaps I am failing to see how this could be exploited. A good deal of the fast nodes are in the Netherlands. I'm not saying your wrong I just would like more information. Peace, DigitalAlch
