Clearly there is something broken in Silk Acceleration or the way it interfaces with my ISP or my kindle at this time.

My experience may not be your experience, but it's no myth.
I have never seen much of a speed boost with acceleration off. It's maybe 2 or 3 seconds faster, so it's not worth it to me. I get the biggest boost in speed when flash and Java script is off. It also depends on the sites you use. I always use the mobile version when I can.

Shutting of acceleration did me a bit, but not a lot of good.

Turning off flash was better, but then many videos were dead.

Switching to Dolphin solved all my problems. I tried silk again after the latest OS update, and it is still slow.

And ... I see no reason to let Amazon monitor my web activity.

You can set Flash to "on demand"
