Comment (by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:17 nickm]:
 > It looks like the bug here, which was in Tor since 0.2.4.3-alpha,
 already magnified part b by a lot and we didn't notice.  Does that mean we
 should change our reasoning here?

 Roger pointed out to me on IRC that the bug here made relay ''uploads'' be
 done with encryption, but that cache ''downloads'' are still done
 directly. Cache downloads happen more frequently and use much more data,
 so they're probably a much larger share of the load in (b).
