>> How so? It's been a long time since i read about those subjects, but from what i remember - TOR is a low-latency network, which is required for regular web sites to work. This means the network can do little to randomize/mess with packet timing, and thus leaks packet timing which theoretically(and practically) can expose them to timing attacks. The onion network, on the other hand, does support high-latency connections.
