   Well, I'm afraid that applies to the information on the wiki, too
-- that's also experimental, to a degree. The notes on the wiki about
behaviour of encryption layers weren't added by any of the core
developers. Nobody's published concrete tests *either* way yet, and
those comments are one person's opinion, as far as I'm aware (and note
that they don't actually quote sources, results, or even personal
experience).

   YMMV.
