Since you seem to be letting tor pick its exits, sampling for
days might give a wider representative spread of exits. And
could plot things for each exit over time.

I see major prevalence of variation in your returned page lengths
in bytes, almost every exit varied. Only about 1% of my single fetch
across 1200+ exits varied from the exact normal byte count. It should
be determined whether tor software somehow causes this when
carrying 'slow' packet streams. By running in a loop the fetch from
bound to the exit IP of an exit relay affected by both slowblocking,
and showing byte variance.
No more variance = tor issue.
Still variance = IP <--> CL stack/path issue, or CL issue alone.

Will look at your Midori tool and maybe more of this type of project
sometime later.
