Comment (by dcf):

 Thanks again for following up on this report. But I still really can't do
 anything with the information you've given me. Please ''stop testing
 against tor1'' because that is full of confounding factors. You need to
 run a copy of websocket-server on localhost, and see if it has the same
 behavior. It's not hard to do—just run a copy of tor with a few lines of
 configuration. There are instructions for doing it
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/websocket.git/blob/HEAD:/README right here]. You might also
 need to set `BridgeRelay 1` in your case.

 Did you try [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/websocket.git/tree/HEAD:/src/websocket-client websocket-client]
 yet, or not?

 I'm asking you to do exactly the the same things I would have to do if I
 were investigating a performance problem; the first thing I would do is
 try running a copy of the server on localhost. Then I would check CPU
 usage, profile the execution, and look at packet captures (again on
 localhost). It's not that I doubt you—it's that doing these things will
 take me hours and I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. If this issue is
 important to you, you need to do some of the legwork.
