Initial Comment:
It seems like there must be a way to get the best of 
both worlds. I use a proxy server at home and would 
like to be able to use Privoxy and Tor together to 
protect my family's anonymity, but I don't want to 
have to give up the efficiency afforded by being able 
to cache web and dns requests within my LAN. 

Is there any way that can Privoxy and Tor can be 
configured to allow me/us to do this?

I've tried to read as much of the the documentation 
as possible and have made an effort as well to read 
the postings on this forum. While I've seen stuff on 
performance and stuff on using these apps through a 
single server, other than the initial statement made 
in the installation instructions that this 
application will only get better if more people agree 
to participate in setting up their own server, I 
haven't seen anything that addresses this directly. 

I hope that I'm not being obnoxious by asking about 
this. I'd be happy to set up a server for TOR and 
don't want to seem selfish in saying this; but if I'm 
willing to do provide bandwidth, is it unreasonable 
to want to see better performance for doing so?

On the probability that this is me failing to read 
something that I was supposed to read that addresses 
this, I'm posting this here as the other 
documentation says that this is where "users" are 
supposed to go for questions. If someone reading this 
thinks that this is better directed elsewhere please 
advise,

thanks
