Comment (by akwizgran):

 I'm not at work today, but I'll post the scripts and build instructions on
 Monday. I'm afraid my script is based on a headless version of Briar with
 the Tor binary embedded in the JAR, so it will take some setup, but Gradle
 should download everything you need except the JDK.

 I re-ran the experiments last night, deleting the cache-* files before
 each run. That reduces the min startup time by a factor of 10 and seems to
 eliminate the difference between Tor versions, or at least push it down
 into the noise. I haven't analysed the results properly yet though; I'll
 post them on Monday.
