I have a beige box at a colo which I'm using for a number of
things, Tor included. Throttled, Tor is nonintrusive. This
would not be possible, if Tor was written in Java (again,
I used to run http://www.i2p.net/ and it was a resource hog).

Unthrottled, a Tor written in Java would not be able to
fully utilize the hardware.

Both are sufficient reasons to kill the idea.

Theoretically, I could stick a screwdriver into my eye.
