 See
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/rransom/tor.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bug1297b
 bug1297b] ( `https://git.torproject.org/rransom/tor.git bug1297b` ) for a
 not-yet-tested branch on 0.2.3.x to make clients keep HS circuits which
 have reached their normal CBT around longer while retrying with new
 intro/rend circuits.

 I will need to add a configuration option to allow users to disable this
 new behaviour, because even though it will clearly improve HS connection-
 establishment performance (assuming it works correctly), I suspect that it
 will harm performance after the connection is established, because we will
 now use circuits which took longer to build.  We currently do not have
 tools designed to test latency on already-opened circuits; when we do, we
 will want to investigate this further.

 There is one remaining change to make for this ticket, on the service
 side: hidden services should be able to keep their
 `CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_S_CONNECT_REND` circuits open after they time out, while
 building another rendezvous circuit in parallel.
