+If chutney sends at least 5 MB of data, and it takes at least one second,
+verify produces performance figures for:
+ - Single Stream Bandwidth: the speed of the slowest stream, end-to-end
+ - Overall tor Bandwidth: the sum of the bandwidth across each tor instance
+The overall bandwidth approximates the CPU-bound tor performance on the
+current machine, assuming tor, chutney, and the OS are multithreaded, and
+network performance is infinite.
