Comment(by karsten):

 Solved both timing issues:

  - Turns out the reason for the client waiting until 00:01:02 is unrelated
 to uTP, but is a general problem of clients bootstrapping via bridges
 (#9229).

  - The 1-packet-per-second packet can be fixed simply by calling
 `UTP_CheckTimeouts` every 1 msec instead of every 1 sec.  I couldn't find
 any obvious side-effects from that.  Suggested by nickm.  See my updated
 utp branch:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/tor.git/shortlog/refs/heads/utp

 Will look into simulating this updated branch in Shadow next.
