+Tahoe-LAFS is very slow at downloading files. Potential users have been looking at this and then deciding not to use Tahoe-LAFS because they need better performance. Figure out why and make it go faster. The first step of this project is to make an automated robot that measures performance of download. The next step is to inspect the pretty, interactive, javascript-powered "download visualization" and figure out what is making the downloads take so long. Then try to improve that thing, see if the automated performance measurements and the visualization show that your improvement worked, and iterate. #327, #932, #1406, #1530 ; wiki:Performance
