Well they tend to do that naturally. A server which is heavily loaded (whether in network, disk, CPU, or RAM) will tend to answer these queries a split-second slower than a server which is idle. So as soon as we commit #928 to trunk, servers which are struggling should no longer get requests to download shares from v1.6 clients.
