 There is a need to load-test Tor relays when bringing them up, and to
 performance-test tor in general, whether relaying or hidden services.

 See:
 Tor BSD Underperformance https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 dev/2015-January/008048.html
 Simulate high Tor load https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 relays/2015-January/006203.html

 It would be nice to have a command for this, that would execute the same
 tests, and then report performance as a series of MB/s figures for
 clients->exits, bridge clients->exits, and clients->hidden services.

 Nick, is this SponsorR, or SponsorS, or both?
