Comment:

 I spoke to David about this process yesterday. Rob wrote a stem script to
 dump a bunch of controller events while we load an onion service. David is
 working on a parsing script to piece together the events for each onion
 service we're visiting, so we can a) understand which components of the
 onion service rendezvous worked, and b) track how long each component
 takes.

 As a double bonus, Rob can run the same stem script on his OnionPerf, and
 then we can use the same parsing script to reconstruct the component
 timing and success rates on the OnionPerf actions.

 And as a triple bonus, onion crawlers like Ahmia or SRI's crawler can dump
 these events too, and we can use the same script to reconstruct in that
 case too.

 I'm going to revise the title here to indicate that torperf probably is no
 longer the place to do this reconstruction.
