Comment(by mikeperry):

 The circuit failure rate of the network appears to vary wildly. It also
 seems that it doesn't take much to push nodes into CPU overload. This is
 rather concerning, as it seems to indicate that measuring for CPU overload
 is very prone to DoS attacks designed to demote certain nodes from high
 bandwidth rankings.

 We might not want to rush into this fix... :/
