Our choice of how many microdescs to fetch per directory request is really
totally irrational since the network has grown so much since we chose
those parameters.

requests for 4574 microdescs, 92 at a time

Seriously, we're making 50 requests and spreading them over 3 guards? I
guess it's nice that we can get partial answers, but generally partial
answers don't help us.
We should fetch many more at a time if it's going over a begindir channel.
