The bandwidth scanners are used for load-balancing, to ensure tor clients have<br>
decent, reliable performance. The system needs some tuning, that will be easier<br>
with a more modern codebase like sbws.<br>

Moving scanners to other regions is one of the things on our list after sbws 1.0.<br>
It carries significant network performance risks if it's not done well.<br>
