Comment (by acute):

 Replying to [comment:8 karsten]:
 > I should also say that the new instances that we set up four weeks ago
 are running a much newer OnionPerf branch than the old instances which we
 had not updated for a long time. I'll also look into setting up an
 OnionPerf instance running the OnionPerf code from ~1 year ago.

 > acute, do you have any intuitions whether one of the changes from the
 past year or so would have caused onion service measurements getting this
 slow while at the same time producing very comparable public service
 measurements?

 I can't think of any changes to Onionperf that would have had this effect,
 but I could fire up the op-ab VM at the University, which still runs Tor
 0.2.9, and run the latest Onionperf for the day - what do you think?
