These two lines might make Tor slightly faster, but will put far more
load on the Tor network.  The NumEntryGuards line will also make the
client more vulnerable to certain anonymity-set-reducing attacks.

Either 'Cav' is seriously afraid of some node named "IL", or he is
trying to protect his users from those $DEROGATORY_ADJECTIVE Jews and
