I have a question that I'm hoping will spur some discussion and maybe I can learn some stuff.
"Is anonymity in Tor incompatible with low-latency?"
I ask this having read this:

I suspect that countermeasures to defeat deanonimization all have a negative impact on latency(e.g. inserting extra packets, pausing between sends).
If the answer to my question is yes, then maybe the best thing the Tor project can do is abandon its push for low latency, and instead focus on anonymity. If Tor we're a much higher latency network attackers would probably find it less interesting.
