Re: [tor-dev] Proposal: Optimistic Data for Tor: Client Side

Anyway, here's the client-side sibling proposal to the already-implemented 174. It cuts down time-to-first-byte for HTTP requests by 25 to 50 percent, so long as your SOCKS client (e.g. webfetch, polipo, etc.) is patched to support it. (With that kind of speedup, I think it's worth it.)

After patching my client to support this (for most requests) I'd be interested to know how much this actually improves things in the real world.

Does anyone already have a script that reads a Tor log file and generates statistics that answer this question?
