Hi all,

does anyone have a clear idea on how to optimize a Tor Client
configuration for Tor2web nodes, by tweaking Torrc?

Tor2web make *tons of new connections* to Tor Hidden services with a lot
of short lived, sometimes pushing also a lot of bandwidth.

Currently there are Tor2web nodes:
- 3 on *.tor2web.org
- 1 on *.tor2web.fi
- 1 on *.tor2web.blutmagie.de

On the code we're working on:
- Optimistic Data
- Connection Pooling (to avoid reopening a socks connection for each
client request)
- Smart Http Caching

What to modify on Torrc to speedup/improve performance on high number of
users?

Fabio
