A better solution would be to reduce the granularity of trades to, for example, 1 second. Nobody needs to trade faster than that. If all trades are executed in a random order every 1 second rather than the current 'fastest fingers first' nothing would really change much in the world, just the HFTs would go away. HFT is a leech on the face of the financial world.
