Well, that's what it is set to - 12kBYTE/sec. Not 12kbit/sec. And if it
isn't working, it's a bug. Although it is expected to be a little
inaccurate and therefore it is a little conservative, but it shouldn't
be 12kbit/sec. But the last person who grumbled about bwlimiting had
read the wrong bandwidth graph.

Sane behaviour != "it uses up all my outbound and stops even web
                browsing working, so I set it transient after asking my
                friend Tom The Bastard how to stop it from doing that"

For this reason we need a default output limit.

I really rather think we ought to find some way to deprioritize traffic
from transients at some point :)
