Comment(by asn):

 Arguably, lines:
 {{{
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] No AES engine found; using AES_* functions.
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 This version of OpenSSL has a slow implementation of counter mode; not
 using it.
 }}}
 can be demoted to 'info'. They are just informative messages.

 Another - more extreme - change would be to stop issuing
 "{libevent,openssl,tor} initialized" messages as they initialize, and just
 send a single message with their versions after they have all initialized.
 However, this is kind of messy to implement and if something breaks before
 that single message then the user might not have the version information
 he needs.
