Comment(by mikeperry):
It turns out that pipeline behavior is significantly different in debug vs
non-debug builds. In debug builds (especially if debug logs are enabled),
the browser is often too slow to be able to keep the pipeline full of
requests, and requests aren't packed together in Tor cells.
This might be important, because it may also be the case that a browser
that is driven around by selenium in a VM might be similarly too slow for
pipelining's request combining to happen.
I'll be updating the pipeline patch to have an option to log the pipeline
state as requests are sent separately from debug logs to help diagnose
this.
