I just setup a middlman Tor node, RandomBox and got myself registered.
One question I have...I've set the rate limit to 20k and I've noticed
that surfing via Tor is a lot slower now.  Images begin to load and then
hang, then finally complete downloading.  I'm curious; if I set the rate
limit for the server, will that effect normal client usage of my Tor
instance?  And if so, is there a way around this other than to run the
server instance on another machine?  I realize it's probably a very good
idea to run the server on a dedicated machine, but that's not a
possibility for me right now.

It seems like the slowness of my Tor as a client happened recently.
Everything outside of Tor is speedy as ever, so it's not my upstream
bandwidth getting saturated.  Is this just a usual weather pattern as of
late in the Tor network?
