Further in support of the request, for _12_hours_ preceding the most recent crash, the daemon reported: Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests. . . [450043 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds] and for the attack on the fast exit machine: [1091489 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds] I see no reason _any_ router should _ever_ have to handle this volume of circuit requests. DOS attacks no doubt whatsoever. Rate limit is needed to mitigate the problem.
