So right now, TOR_LIBEVENT_TICKS_PER_SECOND is 3. If we make that too
high, then refilling and trickling out data can conceivably eat too much
CPU. If we make it too low, then we get spiky traffic. I think something
between 2 and 10 is probably right. How can we tell what the right answer
is?
One possible idea is to try different values on a busy rate-limited Tor
server. To see if we've got it too high, look for bad performance. To
see if we've got it too low, look for ... whatever bad spiky traffic
behavior we're used to disliking.
