[tor-relays] Too little traffic on my #2 non-exit relay

Thanks, but both relays have been started at the same time.
Due to the fact that they also have the same configuration,
both should offer up to 1 gigabit/s bandwidth.

"RelayBandwidthRate 125 MBytes
RelayBandwidthBurst 125 MBytes"

Both relays are exactly the same, except for the IPv4 adress.
