I have eliminated the former.  Not the latter; attempting that would be nuts.

No.  I've never used Tor.

Note that I would not expect any slowdown at all, even a tiny one unnoticeable
by humans, in git or any other DVCS, because those back ends didn't have a
vc-state-heuristic to begin with.  Except for bzr, and that code had
a note that "this is less important than it once was".
