 Lately I was changing the torrc of some bridges and exit relays. I noticed
 several options in `man 1 tor` which ended with `*Statistics`
 (`CellStatistics`, `DirReqStatistics` etc.) and asked myself whether I
 should activate them and what impacts this would have. However the manpage
 leaves those questions unanswered. Only the default setting leaves some
 hint. So could you give a short description at each of such option what
 the rationale behind is, what you probably do with it, what probable
 downsides are and what setting you recommend (I assume there can be
 options which are not enabled by default, but which are very helpful to
 the Tor Project if enabled)?
