Comment(by arma):

 The goal of isolating streams onto different circuits is so the exit
 relays can't learn which streams are coming from the same user. It's not
 about having never having streams come out of 'nearby' IP addresses. It's
 also not about never having streams come out of the same exit relay -- it
 is totally normal for two streams (from two users) to possibly come out of
 the same exit, so making you never do that would leak information to the
 attacker.
