Unless you are editing through the SSL version. I've started doing that even though I don't use proxies, I don't think it's a bad idea for admins (at least) to use it. I've noticed very little difference in speed, certainly not enough to be bothersome.
Until you accidentally follow one of the zillion URLs that take you back to non-secure if you're logged in there. :)
So don't ever log in to the non-secure one.
As far as speed goes if you're using TOR SSL is the least of your speed worries.
I wonder if running Wikipedia as a tor hidden service would improve the speed. It'd at least spread the traffic more evenly as there'd be no need to find an exit node with an appropriate exit policy.
Too bad the tor local exit stuff has to be on an exact IP match, otherwise it would be easy enough to run our own exits to at least remove that terrible sniffing problem from tor for our traffic.
145.97.39.155 isn't the only ip address for en.wikipedia.org? How many are there?
