 Starting a week or two back, we've been getting reports that Tor in Iran
 is suddenly much slower:

 fix#comment-12115

 It's not clear whether the slowness comes from the Tor network or from
 some external factor. But it's reasonable to imagine that one day in some
 situation it will come from some external factor.

 We should come up with a plan for how to compare speeds, and then try to
 generalize them so users in these situations can try them out for us to
 give us more facts.
