Comment (by asn):

 I think we should probably not do any drastic measures here (e.g. increase
 it tenfold to 1k), before having some sort of evaluation mechanism to see
 if this actually helps relays. I'm also saying this because I'm sorta
 afraid that throttling rend circuits might backfire by having them
 timeout, or users retrying them, which could cause more traffic on the
 network.

 I think pumping it to 200 might be a reasonable thing to do at this point
 tho.

 A way to evaluate the effects of this change from the client-side could be
 a tool that connects to a few hundred relays with TAP/ntor and checks the
 delays and success rates.
