put the right numbers in

points). It arrived in about 300 seconds on average, compared to 210s for a

direct download. We ran a similar test on the production Tor network,

fetching the front page of {\tt cnn.com} (55 kilobytes): while a direct

download consistently took about 0.5s, the performance through Tor was highly

variable. Some downloads were as fast as 0.6s, with a median at 2.7s, and

80\% finishing within 5.7s.  It seems that as the network expands, the chance

download consistently took about 0.3s, the performance through Tor was highly

variable. Some downloads were as fast as 0.3s, with a median at 2.6s, and

90\% finishing within 6.0s.  It seems that as the network expands, the chance

of building a slow circuit (one that includes a slow or heavily loaded node

or link) is increasing.  On the other hand, as our users remain satisfied

with this increased latency, we can address our performance incrementally as we
