 We've been having problems establishing a consensus lately. We realized
 that maatuska was rate limiting to only 10MBytes/s, and asked Linus to
 bump it up, so he did.

 Then today we realized that moria1 was unable to serve dirport answers
 because it was maxed out at its BandwidthRate of 30MBytes. I raised that
 to 50MBytes and it stayed maxed out. I have put it back down to 30MBytes
 so my host doesn't get too upset.

 This is not a sustainable situation. We need to figure out what is asking
 the dir auths for so many bytes, and get it to stop or slow down.

 This is a ticket to collect info and to brainstorm ideas.
