Tor was pretty bad for web browsing - latency and pages requiring multiple resources meant that pages took forever to render. But how much is being transfered or rendered with chat? Not very much. IRC is usable even over atrocious connections. I rather imagine that textual chat over Tor would work fine.

and I say this as someone who ran a Tor relay on his Xbox to get 1 hop out of the way
