Comment (by starlight):

 I recalled that at least at one time moria1 scanner ran on a 100mbps link:

 Perhaps this is the cause of the instability observed, particularly
 because instability is most prevalent for the fastest relays (see
 attachments).

 Perhaps an upgrade of the NIC or migrating to a faster system with 1gbps
 interfaces will reduce the erratic measurements?  Checked now and extreme
 pid_deltas in fast slices continue.
