Tor is slow if you're used to browse with a 50 MB internet connection speed. My own connection doesn't go over 1.6MB download speed, and only if the weather is clear and I have the wind in the back. You can now achieve a 500KB or more speed in most Tor connection, which is enough to have a confortable browsing experience, imo. The real downside is the google captcha, which happens sometimes to even denie you to solve a captcha in the first place for web pages where there is no user input.
