How much speed increase can reasonably be expected? I thought bottleneck to Tor is just all the IP relays that occur ?

- timbit42 4y agoTheir goal was to increase security more than speed.
- WookieRushing 4y agoYup, the core part of Tor is written in C so it can't get much speedier. Rewriting it in rust is almost is entirely to reduce the footguns you get in C
- RonMarken 4y agoMight recall reading something to the effect of the C Tor daemon having run into bottlenecks due to lack of multi-threading of certain components and general concern over safety footguns.
