It isn't growth in Tor users, since those have stayed relatively flat in the last two weeks.
And the new rate seems to be the new normal -- it's showing no signs of going back to the old rate.
I would assume it's outgoing directory stuff, since that's most of what dir auths do.
Any guesses?
Well, whatever it was, it settled out -- back to normal -- once August ended.
