Comment(by nickm):

 {{{
 [55]% grep '#define NUM_' ~/src/tor/src/or/rephist.c
 #define NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE 10
 #define NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_INTERVAL (15*60)
 #define NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_IS_VALID (24*60*60)
 #define NUM_TOTALS (NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_IS_VALID/NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_INTERVAL)
 }}}

 Sure looks that way.  Maybe if we load bw observations, and it's all
 before the NUM_SECS_BW_SUM_IS_VALID period (and our IP hasn't changed) we
 should still base our declared bandwidth on them until we've been up for a
 fixed period?  Something like that?

 I don't like the idea of adding fake measurements to the observation
 array; fake or mislabeled data never ends well for us.
