Comment (by karsten):

 The patch looks very reasonable, though I'd like to make one request: can
 you please change the number 500 back to 40 for now?  Here's why: For `n`
 results, Atlas makes `n+1` requests to the Onionoo server which returns
 `n+1` responses each containing `1` result.  That's just crazy.  In
 theory, it should only make `1` request containing `n` results.  We'll
 have to change the queries that Atlas makes and very likely the way how
 Atlas processes responses.  I'm happy to discuss those changes, but we
 could easily do that after applying this patch.  Except for those change
 from `40` to `500` this patch looks ready to go.  Cool stuff, thanks a
 lot!
