[tor-relays] Botnet issues and upgrading to 0.2.4.x

[Chris Whittleston]

I see - so I'll probably still see the problem with a huge number of
circuits being created after I've finished building 0.2.4. Is there any way
to limit this, I'm guessing reducing the bandwidth wouldn't actually help?
I guess I'll look into how much further I can overclock the CPU...
