They look pretty interesting. 3 and 4 have moved significantly less bandwidth, 
could that be related to having less ram? It looks like 1 and 2 have moved the 
same bandwidth. Maybe the 'ideal' is to have 1024MiB of ram?

Note that we are working on a debian package:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/19409
But it will take some months to get into debian, so it is not really an option 
to update snowflake for now.

Thanks for running the proxies.
