I did for a while, but have gotten lazy. There is latency, though it is nothing like dialup was.
Why did I use Tor? Because a website whose FAQ said they don't log IPs (Slashdot) gave my IP to the Secret Service. The Service then came to my house with guns. Seriously.
(I showed them the comment, and they went away. The agents investigating did not actually read the comment before coming to my house to question me about it. WTF?)
Anyway, Tor is a necessity if you post content to the Internet. Although there is very little the legal system can do to you in the US for your protected speech, they can still fuck up and show up at your house to harass you. Use Tor, and they end up in Siberia instead.
