 If it is true that tor uses other tor nodes to measure our bandwidth it is
 possible that we may connect to comparatively slow servers if we are on a
 very fast connection. This would cause us to under-report and so under-
 utilize available bandwidth.

 Used properly this would allow server owners to better exploit faster
 connections when bandwidth is notably and surely under-reported.
