Circuit Level Optimization

[fpietrosanti]

This ticket is to research, inspect and dump ideas on Circuit Level (Tor Level) Optimizations that can be done to speedup Tor2web.

Area of interests maybe:

• Timeout / Keep-alive on circuit to reduce the amount of time required to create a circuit, being able to re-use existing ones
• Selection of Entry Nodes based on Performance metrics, use the single tor2web hop as an high performance tor relay

The fundamentals of this are implemented in the Tor2webRendezvousPoints torrc option. This lets you set whatever arbitrary RendezvousPoint strikes your fancy. And yes, you can make it your own node.
