-\paragraph{Cell Transfer Over the Same Circuit}

-Figure~\ref{fig:estrend_rendack} compares the transfer times of the 
-ESTABLISH\_RENDEZVOUS and RENDEZVOUS\_ACK cells sent over the same rendezvous
-circuit. Although for very low values below 0.1 seconds the latter is
-faster than the former, there seems to be a linear relationship between the 
-values, indicating that there exist faster and slower circuits. Using advanced
-path selection algorithms can help finding circuits consisting of faster relays
-and therefore speed up cell transfers.
-
-Also interesting is the formation around the acknowledgments with one second, 
-which also occur for ESTABLISH\_RENDEZVOUS cells, that are twice as fast.

+\item[Replacement for 1-Second Circuit Creation Loop] The current
+implementation of a client accessing a hidden service makes use of a
+1-second loop that checks whether circuits have been successfully
+established. This results in an unnecessary delay of up to one second or
+0.5 seconds in average when the client could already proceed in connection
+establishment. This can be avoided by processing the establishment of a
+circuit immediately.
