I've noticed the message log flashing since the last update, usually saying Warning query [scrubbed] didn't have valid rend desc in cache. failing
i presumed it was telling me why the page had timed out or failed to connect.

What are you running over Tor, apart from the browser? Torrent? Bitcoin client?

something connecting to port 8333 is using Tor and may be leaking DNS. It looks like it is probably your Bitcoin client.
