Find out why onion service measurements have gotten slower
Today I changed the "Time to download files over Tor" graph to include version 3 onion service measurements.
By chance, I also looked at the onion server measurements and found that the onion service measurements made by op-nl2, op-us2, and op-hk2 have gotten much slower as compared to their op-nl, op-us, and op-hk predecessors.
I'm 95% certain that this is not a bug in the graphs.
My current best guess is that something in tor has changed. I'd like to set up a small number of experimental OnionPerf instances all in the same place but with different tor versions. Any suggestions on locations (Amsterdam, Florida, Hong Kong) or tor versions?
This is also relevant to Sponsor 59 in order to make sure that our current measurements are going to be a baseline for future experiments. Classifying as potential defect.
