So, if i would do a piece of code that want to "benchmark" the
performance of different full-circuit to a tor-hs, i may just:
- setup two Socks port 9050,9051, 9052, 9053, 9054,9055
- create 5 connections using different socks port
- exchange traffic to benchmark bandwidth and latency
- pick-up the faster one

Would that work?
