Absolutely, because it could be used for a low bandwidth DoS.
However, there are 2 scenarios with slow transfers, which are different:
1. A node connects to us and starts an insert. This is a very slow
insert. However it doesn't use much resources (it currently uses a
thread, but it doesn't need to). And it's not necessarily that node's
immediate fault - it may be receiving it slowly, or it may have routed
through a slow node.
2. We route a request, and get a response, which is slow. The result of
this will be that we report the slow transfer on the node's estimator,
and it will be routed around if it is significant.
