Re: Tor on Android

Let's be wary of sacrificing security for "performance", especially  
without careful profiling and measurement. Although mobile machines  
are much less powerful than full-size machines, keep in mind that they  
run extremely complex stuff like WebKit acceptably. They have much  
weaker I/O, too, so it's not as if the network interface is flooding  
the CPU. (A problem we can only dream of having...) Also keep in mind  
that the myths and facts about Java (and C) performance are very  
application-specific.
