 Is this the [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torperf.git/blob/HEAD
 :/trivsocks-client.c#l419 timestamp] when trivsocks-client receives the
 SOCKS response and before it writes the HTTP request?

 > Is it easy to show the torperf graphs as a layered graph of these three
 components?

 Yes.  I just attached
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/6120/torperf-
 phases.png this graph].

 I should say that while it's easy to make such a graph now and manually
 update it, it's hard to teach metrics-web to update that graph
 automatically.  The difficulty is unrelated to this graph.  Making
 metrics-web easier to extend is on my (not really short-term) list.

 > This topic comes up because once we do #3890, I expect the middle phase
 to basically disappear.

 Let me know when you want an updated graph.
