tor: "ah yes, this 6.4MB image will take 3 hours to load. good thing I like edging..."
Apparently you don't know that there are fast tor nodes and, gasp, speeds have improved over the 2 decades tor has been in existence.
People are stuck in 2014 thinking it is slower than molasses.
I've had this same argument before.
Pick a node. Run speed test. If too slow for your needs, pick another.
There are hundreds that are set up for high speed, high volume traffic.

20-80Mbps is plenty fast.
And here's your 6.4Mb image https://metrics.torproject.org/torperf.html?start=2024-10-06&end=2025-01-04&server=public&filesize=5mb
The true ‘90s dial-up experience: Watching your porn load one row of pixels at a time, only to find out it’s censored right as it gets to the good part.
Maybe I’ll just play a Flash game instead. Let me go make a sandwich while it loads.
