So your answer is, for performance?  I had thought that this document was 
aimed at arguing for a certain kind of attack-resistance, but I see that it is 
also intended to have good performance.

Are you part of the GOT project, jdd?

FWIW, I used to think that a hypercuboid (Kademlia) would be better than 
Chord, but this paper [1] has made me doubt that.
