Comment (by teor):

 This is how Tor works in detail:
 Relays try to fetch all descriptors for every consensus they successfully
 download and validate.
 Relays cache all descriptors they have ever successfully downloaded.
 Relays remove a descriptor from their cache when it expires.

 So the number of descriptors returned by a relay depends on its uptime.
