Description
Performance issues:
- mutable files are stored in their entirety in RAM briefly during upload
- creating a new mutable file requires creating a new RSA public/private key-pair, which can take as many as a billion CPU cycles
Currently, new users can carefully read the Tahoe-LAFS docs and then go on and decide to use mutable files without being aware of these issues. To close this ticket, fix that.
