 privoxy doesn't do http 1.1, so no pipelining for you. Also, it reads the
 whole page before it passes any of it on to Tor, introducing considerable
 latency from the user's perspective.

 You might be happier moving to polipo, assuming it builds in android land.
 (Does it?)

 You will likely be happier still moving to 'no http proxy', if you can
 manage it. (Can you?)
