Comment (by mikeperry):
Bleh. It is unfortunate that clients need more accurate timers than
relays.
1. Do you have any sense as to if client-side timing is more important
because most test crawls tend to use client-side timings as opposed to
guard-side timings (and thus inherently get very high client-side timing
resolution and visibility into Firefox delays), or because of something
else that is just inherent to the HTTP protocol?
2. If I were to write a patch that allowed either clients or relays to
correctly fast-path this 0ms case to insert bursts of back-to-back packets
without the circuit failure, would that help?
