Comment (by mikeperry):

 This is indeed interesting, and we should keep it in mind when comparing
 fixed-guard onionperf to no-guard onionperf.. I agree with dennis: I think
 that arma's 1st hypothesis is the bulk of it.

 FTR: I don't intend to compare fixed-guard results to no-guard results.
 That distinction is not relevant to the experiments we have planned. But
 we should be aware that we would be comparing apples to oranges if we did
 such a comparison.

 I don't think we need to worry so much about this, so long as we can
 rememeber not to compare fixed-guard to no-guard results and draw
 conclusions from that.
