Hi Rob,

that's pretty cool!  I was wondering if we'd need such a measuring
proxy.  So far, we only have some timestamps from Firefox's Navigation
Timing implementation:

I'll have a look at your code once I have a clearer picture of the
overall design of this Twisted-based Torperf re-implementation.

Thanks,
Karsten
