In the name of improving security, let's pretend Cloudflare is acting, without a shadow of doubt, in full malice. They want to get every Cloudflare website onion service as fast as possible. That would create a huge amount of circuits and I worry about whether the network can handle it. What information do we have on this? Right now Cloudflare could, in theory, I am not saying that they will, flip a switch and could cause quite the strain on the Tor Network.
