Comment:

 The current torperfs do not use entry guards and make sure they build a
 new circuit for each request (every 5, 30, or 60 minutes). We have one
 torperf running 0.2.1.24-dev which doesn't use circuit build timeouts at
 all and two torperfs running 0.2.2.8-alpha-dev and 0.2.2.10-alpha-dev
 which may use CBT, but without the improvements in 0.2.2.14-alpha.

 I'd like to keep these three setups unchanged, so that we get some long-
 term data for comparison.

 So, the question is: What additional torperfs do we want? Turning on entry
 guards doesn't seem like a good idea, because it makes our results highly
 dependent on the initially picked entry guards. Also, what would we be
 trying to find out by that?

 We might add a fourth torperf running 0.2.2.14-alpha to compare the CBT
 stuff to the other torperfs.

 What else?
