Comment(by karsten):

 I wrote a
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/tor.git/commitdiff/6730fe4 patch]
 that makes retry schedules and that one constant configurable.  I also see
 how the client says it uses the new retry values.  But bootstrapping is
 still slower than expected.  Could it be that there's something else not
 making directory requests even though our retry schedule would permit it?
