Looking at https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/707A9A3358E0D8653089AF32A097570A96400CC6 it has a latency like I would expect and not worse than most users in EU so latency doesn't seem to really be the problem: 65ms from London 200ms from US west coast 300ms from Japan Using the same IPs my best relay (at home) with a consensus weight of 62400 and 20MB/s advertised bandwidth has: 5ms from London 120ms from US west coast 220ms from Japan
