I've found some odd behavior by using different settings in bandwidthLimit.

The default of 10000 doesn't seem to properly limit the amount of use to 10000 - my 
outgoing data stream winds up using everything it 
has (15K) for long periods of time while I have freenet running. A side effect of this 
seems to be that my freenet node has load spikes 
where normally it'll be sitting at around load average 2 or 3 and suddenly spike to 
around 15 or even as high as 20 sometimes.

Now, recently I lowered as an experiment bandwidthLimit to 5000 - strangely enough, 
this seems to be working, and a nice side effect of 
this is apparently I'm not as popular a node as I used to be - my loadaverage doesn't 
spike anymore.

I'd like to know what the reasons for this behavior are, as well as hear any 
suggestions as to what I should set my bandwidthLimit to. 
I don't mind using 5000, but I doubt it makes my node very efficient networkwise.
