Comment (by cypherpunks):

 you can also use  ReducedConnectionPadding 1
 #     ReducedConnectionPadding 0|1
 #     If set to 1, Tor will not not hold OR connections open for very
 long,
 #     and will send less padding on these connections. Only clients may
 set
 #     this option. This option should be offered via the UI to mobile
 users
 #     for use where bandwidth may be expensive. (Default: 0)
