Comment (by s7r):
OK switching on that branch as of now on some machines and will get back
with comments.
This will help us understand the problem from comment:13 where the cutoff
time is > ~1 hour (one consensus period). What do you think we should do
in regards to the problem described in comment:1 where it complains only
for few seconds (much much less than an entire consensus period)? I think
it might be because:
- we have many relays in the consensus (over 7000), the number is growing
and it takes more and more time for clients to download and process
descriptors, therefor having few seconds of lag here
- we have no feature to download with priority descriptors we are
interested in (primary guards, when/if they are available), maybe even try
simultaneous download from all 3 DirGuards at once and close the rest of
connections once one finishes.
