Thus spake Matthew (pump...@cotse.net):
Probably well over a year ago Tor seemed really slow and I wanted to
speed it up. These settings were recommended (I can't find the website
now).
CircuitBuildTimeout 30
NumEntryGuards 6
KeepalivePeriod 60
NewCircuitPeriod 15
Are these valid today? AIUI Tor is way faster than it was a year or so ago?
If you run tor 0.2.2.17+, the CircuitBuildTimeout is now automatically
learned, and typically results in a value around 3-5s for broadband
connections.
The other options I think were hacks to try to help make this lower
hardcoded timeout value give you more benefit. I wouldn't use them
with the new code.
