doesn't changing the CircuitBuildTimeout and the NumEntryGuards give an
advantage to an attacker which is spying on your connections?
IIRC it should be mentioned in the design documents: an attacker which
is reading traffic can isolate clusters of users depending on their tor
client behavior and then launching other types of attack on them with
higher percentage of success due to the previous clustering.
