In order to clarify this once and for all: If I setup a Tor relay with 200 kBps, do I slow down the Tor network? What amount of bandwith is needed in order to not slow down the network?

In order to get the Fast flag, you need a relay capable of 2 megabytes per second. Most clients won't use you for anything if you don't have the Fast flag, so you'll have minimal impact on the network.

That said, each extra relay adds to the directory download overhead.
