- Handle multi-core cpus better
- Split circuit AES across cores
+ - Split cell_queue_t into a new structure with a processed subqueue,
+ an unprocessed subqueue, and a symmetric key.
+ - Write a function to pull cells from the unprocessed subqueue,
+ en/decrypt them, and place them on the processed subqueue.
+ - When a cell is added to a queue that previously had no
+ unprocessed cells, put that queue into a set of queues that
+ need to be processed. When the last cell is processed in a
+ queue, remove it from the set of queues that need to be
+ processed.
+ - Worker code to process queues in round-robin fashion.
+ - Think about how to be fair to differet circuits _and_ about to get
+ CPU-affinity, if that matters.
+ - When a cell is processed and placed onto a processed subqueue
+ that was previously empty, _and_ the or_conn output buffer
+ that the queue is targetting is empty, stick the buffer onto a
+ list of buffers that need attention and notify the main
+ thread if it was not already on the list.
+ - When the main thread gets notified, it pumps those buffers.
+ (i.e., it puts cells onto them from some of their circuits).
+ - To free a queue that is not currently processing, grab its lock
+ and free it.
+ - To free a queue that _is_ processing, .... ?

P - Make documentation realize that location of system configuration file
