Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:5 hsn]:
 > take into account available bw on relay: advertised bw - actual bw used.
 Slow guard is really bad for user experience.

 I don't think we have quick enough feedback to make this work right.
 Instead, I think something like conflux's "adapt which circuit you use
 based on round-trip times" is going to serve us better for this one.

 > exit nodes should not be used as guard too often, it wastes their bw.

 I agree.
