Why?

To torify web browsing, all you have to do is install an add-on to  
firefox.

If you like to share some bandwidth to the tor community, install one  
tor daemon on your internet connection.

A nice combination is a squid server in your local net and link the  
squid to a tor daemon on the same machine. I've set up a cascade with  
tor to privoxy to havp to squid. And if I choose the squid proxy,  
it's routed through through the cascade and leaves through tor. On  
every machine and browser that's configured to use the proxy.

So why would you like to run one tor deamon for every user on one  
machine when one daemon for all users of your local net will do?

As tor is a daemon, why would someone like to start one for every  
user? You don't start a nfs server or a sshd server for every user?

A little bit puzzled.
