Comment:

 > Does anyone think we should reduce nf_conntimeout_clients from 1800 to
 900 to try and free up more circuit file descriptors and RAM?

 I would say today that relays are not under heavy resources pressure
 unless a big DDoS happens but we improved quite a bit tor in the last
 years on that front.

 So I would say *no*.

 Closing here since it has been 2 years and no consensus. We can re-open
 once we see a good reason to do so.
