last time i used it it was pointlessly slow but it all depends on what route you take so between requests you can see largely differing speeds.

using tor is less safe than "directly" connecting to sites due to the unknown path you take. if you're going to use tor i'd only send SSL/TLS encrypted traffic through it, or traffic i didn't care about. using SSL/TLS to encrypt the traffic isn't 100% secure either but is definately the safest way of using tor
