I'm sorry, this doesn't help me answer your question.

Usually, a relay is limited by either the available network bandwidth, or by the
speed of a single CPU core on the machine.

If the first relay used all the available bandwidth, then two relays will eventually
have lower consensus weight values.

If the first relay used all of a single CPU core for its main thread, then the two
relays will eventually have similar consensus weight values.
