Comment:

 I think it would be a good idea to have torperf data on circuit failure
 rates (and the N most common remote+local REASON codes from the control
 port) during this transition. We expect that circuit failure rates should
 drop dramatically for ntor clients, and continue to drop as more clients
 upgrade to 0.2.4.x.

 Confirmation of this fact could allow us to tighten the path bias
 parameters more. Right now they're rather ridiculously loose due to the
 high variability in CPU overload at relays.

 karsten: We discussed this briefly at the dev meeting with Rob. Did you
 create a torperf ticket for it? I'd like to follow that one too.
