Investigate making MaxOnionsPending time-based
A lot of relays seem to be failing circuits due to too many onionskins right now. Are there really too many? A machine with NumCPUs 8 might be able to churn through 100 onionskins pretty quickly. Perhaps we should consider making the queue limited based on time-to-process rather than a fixed count.
Nick says the first step is altering the "Your computer is too slow" log message to output a queue processing time to see how long most nodes are spending on their queues, to decide if this is worth the effort to change.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
