[tor-talk] Hidden Services - reliably resolving/using onions, CPU

2012-09-05 Thread grarpamp
When trying to fetch about 50 onions at a time, Tor eats up all of a P4 1.8GHz CPU. And only about a tenth of the HTTP requests that are expected to resolve and return data ever do return said data. Further, using Tor as an exit (whether via polipo or SOCKS) also becomes less than useful. I'm not
