[tor-relays] Exit enclaves load time

[Zach Lym]

So an enclave node doesn't bypass exit nodes, or are exit nodes no
longer the bottleneck they once were?

My hypothesis was that if a major service providers provided an exit
enclave, traffic to them would bypass the exit node bottleneck. Given
the distribution of internet traffic (the top 10 sites account for 20%
of traffic to the top 1,000 sites http://tinyurl.com/3agt69j) tor
could see some serious performance gains.

Thanks,
