Replying to [ticket:20212 gacar]:
> Maybe Tor (or Tor Browser) could cap the number of new circuits opened
within a time window. I can't think of a realistic use case for loading
resources from tens of different hidden services.
Here are two:
* Checking the status of many hidden services
* CDNs or other load-balancing techniques
