 That's unfortunate especially for people that use amnesiac setups like
 Tails or the experimental sandbox option.  What is HTTPSE doing during the
 startup delay?  Is it something that can be accelerated by pregenerating
 things during the build process?

 As far as I am aware, the plan is to disable automated updates (that
 aren't done via the Tor Browser update process, as in, via a MAR), so the
 delay could be eliminated...
