(GH#204) +- Make relay list refreshing take much less time by not allowing worker threads + to dogpile on the CPU. Before they would all start requesting descriptors +from Tor at roughly the same time, causing us to overload our CPU core and make +the process take unnecessarily long. Now we let one thread do the work so it +can peg the CPU on its own and get the refresh done ASAP. +(GH#205)
