Does it at all matter?

Many say, I2P is a high latency network and you can do little locally to improve your experience. Untrue.

While Raspberry class users will see a BIG difference, everybody will benefit.

1) Round trip times for local traffic are down in the area of > 100 ms thanks to improved message forwarding and crypto-key pregeneration. Definitely noticeable for heavy torrent users.

2) Small improvements add up. Cuts on CPU, improved multi-threading strategy and eliminated wait for crypto-keys cut several ms out of every packet travelling through your router.

3) More reliable, faster connections contribute to the entire network. If you run thousands of tunnels you will be cutting several seconds of waiting time out of the network every second.
