 I didn't say parallelizing was okay: I said that circuit creation (which
 is what you were asking about) was handled in parallel. Server-side
 circuit creation is approximately the ONLY thing handled in parallel,
 though. :/

 You might want to check out the other tickets related to parallelizing
 other stuff: there's one for parallelizing relay crypto (shouldn't be too
 tough) and another for parallelizing openssl stuff (likely to be
 trickier).  (Sorry for notforthose finding the numbers for those; I'm on
 my phone right now)
