I'm not doing any cooling except for not having it in case.  I'm in Canada, and 
with winter coming I can leave it hanging inside a window, and that'll cool it 
down some.

The speed on the relay has picked up to about a quarter of what it was (so about 
six gigs a day), and I'll wait and see if it continues to increase, and then 
maybe fiddle with the config.

So, if a Pi is cheap to buy and easy to use and maintain, I'm happy to use it 
for a relay, even if it's not a major contributor to the network.
