Let me repeat:
REORDERING IS OF PRIMARY IMPORTANCE FOR REMAILER SECURITY.
ADDING LATENCY IS NOT.
And I don't want to hear any excuses that you can say latency and mean
reordering, because that's self-delusion. Not only is it false, but
misleading. Reordering is necessary for security, and latency is a
by-product. You don't get security by adding by-products.
