• • Increase the intial circuit build timeout testing frequency, to help

• ensure that ReducedConnectionPadding clients finish learning a timeout
  

• before their orconn would expire. The initial testing rate was set back

• of ~100-120 minutes.
  

Fyi, the current Tor network has "cbttestfreq=60" set in its consensus params.

Is this something we should change?
