I think things have gotten a little bit better, but I think it is too soon to say that things have passed. I'm still seeing the various connection overloads and circuit overloads that I was seeing earlier.
For those still feeling the memory-bloat pain, I should clean up and share one of the patches I've been testing, which does something similar to the iptables rules that teor has been talking about, but does it inside Tor rather than at the firewall level. This week I hope.
Will this be an opt-in, opt-out or not configurable? (I assume this will be in the first 0.3.3.x alpha)
