How so? I'd expect much lower values, not higher.

I think it would help to post the bandwidth history:

Tor's uptime is 6:00 hours, with 3 circuits open. I've sent 4.01 GB and
received 419.10 MB.
Tor's uptime is 12:00 hours, with 3 circuits open. I've sent 4.02 GB and
received 696.57 MB.
Tor's uptime is 18:00 hours, with 1 circuits open. I've sent 4.03 GB and
received 831.90 MB.
Tor's uptime is 1 day 0:00 hours, with 3 circuits open. I've sent 4.03
GB and received 877.31 MB.
Tor's uptime is 1 day 6:00 hours, with 28 circuits open. I've sent 32.03
GB and received 880.58 MB.
Tor's uptime is 1 day 12:00 hours, with 0 circuits open. I've sent 48.04
GB and received 989.46 MB.


Is there significant overhead for many small packets, eg. HTTP requests?
