[tor-relays] total relay bandwidth

Hi,


(rather new relay operator here, so excuse me, if this is a dumb question)

I just saw this (https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html) graph,
which shows that the advertised relay bandwidth in the whole network is
more than double the actually used bandwidth. While it's certainly nice
to have a bit of breathing space to absorb load spikes, I'm wondering,
if new relays (i.e. non-exits) are actually helpful at this point, or if
they simply don't make a difference.

Am I missing something obvious? 


Thanks,

Jens
