[tor-dev] performance of CREATE/CREATED handshake

Hi folks,

I'm currently thinking about a new scalable network architecture for Tor. In order to get some idea about the performance of this architecture I need some data about the CREATE/CREATED handshake. This handshake involves PK encryption which is of course time consuming, and this probably determines the maximum client-capacity of a node in my new network architecture. I'm interested in two values:

1) The average circuit-rate of a single client (circuits/sec) 2) The average CPU-time it takes to perform a CREATE/CREATED handshake.

Any data on these questions is much appreciated.
