Description
IMO, I2PTunnel should set Length(t) to 3 hop tunnels, not 2 by default.
Latency is variable (as we know) and 3 hop tunnels are immune to attacks that 2 are not. According to Tor[1], 3+ hop tunnels have the same levels of immunity to a variety of attacks a 3 hop tunnel. zzz has commented on this previously but with no conclusion[2].
I feel the avg. user will not notice a large difference and those who wish to gain speed may do so by modifying the default option.

How about 3 hop default for exploratory and I2PSnark? It seems it was planned for exploratory a while ago but never happened for ??? reasons.
It may have an effect on speed in I2PSnark but it shouldn't be for a concern in exploratory, imo.
