Thermodynamics, how does it work!@!@@#!!
It increases CPU utilisation and power consumption.
Negligibly for the user; only slightly for the server end if specialized hardware is used.
It interferes with caching
Only at the proxy level.
and reduces network efficiency.

This is a dumb idea. A very dumb idea.
It's still smarter than making it easy to intercept your communications.
You say dumb, but some of us have been calling for end-to-end encryption of all communications since forever. If we have a right to privacy, then we should protect it by default. To me, dumb is enabling a surveillance state by not using encryption. In fact, I call that evil.
