We have some plans for how to speed up initial connection by a factor

of 2 or 3. But it's always going to involve a public key operation and

at least some circuit extension, so it's always going to be fairly 
slow.

The key to scalability will be getting other people to carry bandwidth,

and learning to handle unpredictable and heterogeneous relays.
