Um, speak for yourself. I ran Tor on 100 MBit switched Ethernet
for a while, and it was very visible. I now run it throttled,
and it behaves well -- because it's not written in Java. 

Try http://www.i2p.net/ and see how it compares. (Assuming, you have
a Java for your platform).

I think it would be a terrible idea. Python/C I would understand.
Java, never.
