Or, if you would rather try a real SSL handshake, use openssl and see
how long it takes:
| weasel at galaxy:~$ time openssl s_client -connect 82.94.251.206:443
| CONNECTED(00000003)
| depth=1 /O=TOR/CN=Tonga <identity>
[..]
| openssl s_client -connect 82.94.251.206:443 0.01s user 0.00s system 12% cpu 0.130 total
compared to
| weasel at galaxy:~$ time openssl s_client -connect 155.207.113.227:9001
| CONNECTED(00000003)
| depth=1 /O=TOR/CN=masquerade <identity>
[..]
| openssl s_client -connect 155.207.113.227:9001 0.01s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 7.070 total
