???  I don't regularly check the relays & bandwidth in my Tor 
connection, but when I do, it's as common than not to see at least one 
relay w/ < 10 MB/s (you used mega bit, not mega byte).

I don't look at them all the time during sessions, but when I randomly 
check, probably 1/2 the time one relay is < 10 MB/s.
Could it be a fluke that I just happen to check at times when low 
bandwidth relays happen to be selected?
