[tor-relays] Best bandwidth setup for exit node

[SuperSluether]

I've been wondering this myself, and recently found this thread: 
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/791/how-to-calculate-optimal-relay-bandwidth-throughput

TL;DR, using AccountingMax means your relay won't be very stable because 
it will be idle for a certain amount of time, whereas RelayBandwidthRate 
will allow you to remain online at a slower speed.

Another thing to take into account is that a relay's DirPort is disabled 
when AccountingMax is set, so you won't be able to mirror directory 
information.

Personally I think throttling a relay is better for the network as a 
whole. I'd rather have a slow, reliable connection than a fast and 
spotty connection.
