These lead to 'peaks' in the timeout > distribution. The smaller the value, the tighter these 'peaks' seem to be. This should not be the case in 0.2.2.14 and above. Changing the QUANTILE_CUTOFF default should now only govern which circuits you actually use. Circuits should continue to build until CBT_DEFAULT_CLOSE_QUANTILE, so the distribution of recorded buildtimes will be much more insenitive to changes in the timeout value. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
