Comment (by dgoulet):

 > In #29427 KIST related transfer rate impairment shown in the graph is
 huge. I am doubtful regarding the cost vs benefit of the feature.

 Just to be clear, that issue is related to *client* only. Relays do not
 suffer from the interval issue because they have thousands of open
 connections compared to a client with a couple at best.

 So relays should really not be capped _in theory_ compared to Vanilla
 scheduler... If there are evidence that KIST is performing poorly compared
 from Vanilla on the *relay* side, then that is a different story.

 But without data, we can't really go on here?

 As for the bandwidth scanner issue, that is very different problem and a
 big one that we are trying to address.
