Comment (by JeremyRand):

 I can confirm that the v8 branch fixes both issues for me.  With regards
 to (1), it now takes circa 10 seconds for a .bit site to load if I type it
 into the address bar as soon as Tor Browser starts.  Previously it was
 closer to 30 seconds.  We can probably do better by having Electrum-NMC
 launch its connections as soon as the control port indicates Tor is
 connected, but for now I think v8 is "good enough" (and avoids making the
 invasive changes that would be needed for using the control port).  I'll
 definitely look into using the control port for a later release though.

 @gk feel free to test for more oddities.  :)
