Comment(by nickm):

 Round-to-the-nearest-N-msec would probably obfuscate better than add-a
 -random-delay.  (IOW, like a timed mix, but without reordering.)

 I wonder if we can get source code out of academics doing this attack, and
 see how well our approaches normalize cadence.  It'd probably be an easy
 publication, if anybody's interested.
