But simulation by bitfury already indicated that we will have a severe performance problem with 4MB blocks on average home computer

I'd like to see that report. Got a link?

With only several thousand running full nodes now, it seems to me that 'average home computer' is not the limiting issue.

I don't remember exactly, but just google it, and also another statistic by Mark in Montreal conference showing that even a 1MB block can take over 30s to verify on a mining node

Today we have the mining relay network, the block is relayed in milliseconds. What you are saying is factually incorrect.

As I understand, Matt Corallo's bitcoin relay network is a private company, similar "a phone call to shut it down" risk

The free market coming up with solutions on its own, if it did get shut down another one could simply be setup.

Not when you are already heavily dependent on that one, you can not come up with a solution overnight

The Bitcoin relay network is also open source.

It does not help if you don't have servers at major internet backbones. And if you have, those servers will be censored in a similar way
