Yes, sorry. I do know the difference between the two, but my morning coffee was not kicking in yet, and I was definitely not paying attention. Thanks for taking the time to point out my mistake.
On a similar subject, is there a way to limit Tor's "per connection" speed, i.e., not total speed. Assuming that a single connection carries only one "conversation" between two parties at a time, wouldn't limiting a single connection speed to, say 50-100Kb/s, act as deterrent for people transferring files--where speed matters more--rather than having private textual exchange, which should be adequate for anonymity and privacy reasons. Of course, if not uniformly implemented, it would create either botlenecks or allow someone to identify the possible routes, if not the data being transferred. Or is it a terrible idea for some other reason?

Those settings are "kilobyte per second", so you're currently allowing 4 megabit per second as burst.
So unless there's many concurrent 2 Mbps connections, sounds ok.
