 #7168 aims at making Torperf results more realistic, because web pages are
 rather 320KB on average and contain multiple components, so our Torperf
 results are artificial.

 I just realized we can already fix the first shortcoming.  As of April
 2012, Torperf includes timestamps of completed deciles of expected bytes
 in its results.  So, if Torperf expects to download 1 MiB, it stores
 timestamps when it receives 100 KiB, 200 KiB, 300 KiB (which may be useful
 here), 400 KiB, ..., 900 KiB, and 1 MiB.  We can easily compare these
 timestamps to the start timestamp and learn how long it would have taken
 to download just that number of bytes.

 I quickly graphed the 2012 Torperf results including overall completing
 times and decile completion times.  If this graph is useful, we can extend
 the Torperf graphs on the website by replacing the "File size" option with
 a dropdown of all byte numbers shown in that graph.
