hell threads have not even made a dent in the resource usage of my relays

Hell threads are users attacking relay operators, who give up their time, to work for free. It's like going to a soup kitchen and throwing soup in the chef's face. Because they can. I understand tha aim is that the chefs, who work without pay, will improve their defenses. But a more likely outcome is that, when users throw soup in their face, they will just do other things with their free time.
