Unless you've been really messing with your configuration, you're likely to end up hopping out of your home country at least once per circuit anyway. And if the network is slow, you'd want your traffic to get out of there as soon as possible; no/little sense adding a relay in a slow network area. Exit relay positioning is more dependent on filtering and network diversity rather than geographical proximity; I can only see that being helpful for guard relays. That said, if we're low on Australian relays it'd be good to get more there. I believe both UK and Australia keep bouncing around ideas for legally-required net filtering; that's the only thing I'd keep in mind other than speed when choosing between them. -- PGP key available on request
