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?

Thanks.
