 I just removed the table listing the "top-10 relays by bandwidth history"
 from the [https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html metrics website] in
 commit [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-
 web.git/commit/c7675d04f7cb861f65877d9162da9572eade7242 c7675d0].  It was
 a list of relay fingerprints and written bytes in a given time frame.  The
 list for September 1 to November 30, 2011 was:

 Fingerprint     Bandwidth history
 24b1f63f7df9f85d711864811cc401be5eb5fb9a        103.92 TiB
 7dcb5313b9541dd29c94bfde0adf91dc91d2cfe9        102.18 TiB
 db8c6d8e0d51a42bdda81a9b8a735b41b2cf95d1        101.05 TiB
 253dff1838a2b7782be7735f74e50090d46ca1bc        99.65 TiB
 b93dcc053d7f0472bb17a4514e06fe76d9fb714b        98.17 TiB
 6daa8317ba9ff4b4cad33588ad780ed65ba8af94        94.37 TiB
 ff986a4573185a6912a0ff28335210cc05ce00de        74.14 TiB
 2624ae0466bd02afaf3f263d4361d79abe0e7e05        72.84 TiB
 4186509c707e96b77b51a76f8294d7e22ff52c61        62.36 TiB
 2ffcceace86d8ca306d069386a65359bcee8d67a        61.50 TiB

 The fingerprints were links to the relay pages showing more details.
 Also, there were input boxes for start and end date to customize the table
 content.

 The reason why I took this list out is that updating this table for a new
 time interval took 2--5 minutes.  That's unacceptable.  This happened at
 least four times a day when the cached table data got stale or whenever a
 user entered a different start or end date of the time interval.  This
 doesn't just delay page load times, but also keeps the database busy and
 affects other users.

 If we want this table back, we'll have to pre-calculate some values.

 I'm setting the priority to minor, because I don't think many people
 looked at this table at all.
