Ha, I see how it can sound like that :-)

Yes, it broke the speed record: a multithreaded application outperformed the singlethreaded version. But I wasn't happy with the result. It consumed an order of magnitude more memory, and gc times were potentially harming users (not a widely researched subject, but gc times in low-latency mixnets can likely harm user anonymity). Oh, and it would occasionally crash with OOM errors.
