Comment(by mikeperry):

 The minimal solution is to just save the value from
 rep_hist_bandwidth_assess() into the state file periodically. Upon
 startup, tor would read this value in and then fill read_array and
 write_array with this value instead of zero as it does now.

 This way, the value from the state file would stay the max for 24 hours
 (until the read_array and write_array are filled with observed data and
 wrap around), or until a new higher bandwidth observation is made,
 whichever comes first.
