Well, I got your point. If I'm not mistaken, Notes are very much helpful in breaking the link, and as much time as we delay to withdraw from Notes along with the option to combine Notes and withdraw different amounts. Otherwise, using fast mode with almost instant payout, the process isn't that helpful I think since they can be identified with little effort with some explorer check, as it limits the address, and output to check.
Now, it also makes sense why having different fee would add a little bit extra privacy.
It may appear that this is the case at first glance, but thanks to how the system works both Fast mode and Note mode benefit from being in the same privacy set since no outside observer could tell which mode a user chose. I'll quote again from a different discussion I had in the other topic:
If we didn't have the Notes then I agree, Fast mode would have the same disadvantages as any other mixer. But since outputs from Notes and Fast look exactly the same there is no way for any outside observer to know which mode you used. So Fast mode is as secure as the Notes from a privacy set standpoint. I would still recommend using Notes regardless because they offer the end-user full control over the process.
That's a good point, and one I did not consider. For an external observer using blockchain analysis, then a fast mix appears identical to someone using notes. They can see the deposit being made, but since they don't know if the user is using fast or notes, they are unable to reach any conclusions about the time frame of when the withdrawal will be made or how much will be withdrawn. Both fast and notes users benefit from being in the larger anonymity set provided by the other type of user, and having the different process help to obfuscate what is happening.
For any questions I'm always here.
