The bwauth calculations do take latency into account, and they should: if CPU usage or bandwidth are near their limit, the latency through the relay will be high.

I stand corrected.

I observed my relays (a few years ago) to often run into the bandwidth limit, aka 'flatlining', and this having latency. I then started to set lower advertised bandwidth, and this went away. Problem here is that these are short-term event in relation to the bandwidth probes, so the probing can't really control this.

This has the drawback that relays located away from the US/Western Europe get poor scores.

What kind of latencies are we talking about here? And how much latency makes up for what bandwidth?
