Comment (by phw):

 Another thing which just came to mind: Do we want to use inter-arrival
 time obfuscation or not?  Right now, it is activated (see
 `USE_IAT_OBFUSCATION` in const.py).  While throughput it still reasonable,
 we can maximise it by completely disabling inter-arrival time obfuscation.
 That might not be a bad choice as timing-based attacks seem to be an
 exotic threat at this point.  Activating it at a later point in time is a
 matter of simply setting the above variable to `True`.
