10 * \brief Maintains and analyzes statistics about circuit built times, so we
11 * can tell how long we may need to wait for a fast circuit to be constructed.
13 * By keeping these statistics, a client learns when it should time out a slow
14 * circuit for being too slow, and when it should keep a circuit open in order
15 * to wait for it to complete.
17 * The information here is kept in a circuit_built_times_t structure, which is
18 * currently a singleton, but doesn't need to be. It's updated by calls to
19 * circuit_build_times_count_timeout() from circuituse.c,
20 * circuit_build_times_count_close() from circuituse.c, and
21 * circuit_build_times_add_time() from circuitbuild.c, and inspected by other
22 * calls into this module, mostly from circuitlist.c. Observations are
23 * persisted to disk via the or_state_t-related calls.
