Comment (by nickm):

 I'm pretty sure that it's a big deal.  Whenever your relay is ever
 exhausting its bandwidth bucket, it will fail to read or write data to
 cpuworkers. This increases the amount of time that cpuworkers will spend
 idle.

 Now, an even better solution on the CPUworker situation would be a better,
 pipelining-based cpuworker implementation, like I did for my #9682 branch.
 But that's definitely 0.2.5 material.
