I'm not sure it would be reasonable. To do that without deanonymising people would be an awful lot of work, and at the end if it lead to faster results, that would seem to be ripe for timing attacks to I.e. Figure out if anyone is browsing stonewall.org on your LAN

OpenBazaar are using IPFS over a Tor transport.

You could have a fast lane direct from the (http) server, then a slow P2P lane over Tor, both using the same content addressed protocol, and caching the results locally for instant reloads.
