3-5 anonymous hops wouldn't be a bad thing in the future, say ~5yrs assuming continued investment in better broadband infrastructure as well as investment in Tor nodes.

The performance drop could hypothetically be unnoticeable to the user. Just as most TCP handshakes are.

This has to become a movement indeed towards pervasive cryptography. Tor's design isn't the real problem. The lack of Tor nodes/efficient broadband is the real problem.



Speed of light says 3-5 hops will always be a bad thing and there's nothing we can do about it.
