higher is better, but uses more cpu resources.
say you can only allot 3.0kbs to winmx users in upload bandwidth. say furthermore that if the u/l bandwidth rises to 3.3kbs, even momentarily, your internet experience will suffer or even cease. it then becomes critical to keep it at exactly 3.0. that's not possible of course, but setting your throttle higher will better hold it to 3.0kbs.
as people try to take as much bandwidth from you as they can for their transfers, winmx will always strive to maintain your selected rate regardless of whether you set it low or high, it's just that setting it higher "throttles it back down” more often.
to find what works best under your particular circumstances you'll have to experiment with this trade off between regulated bandwidth and resources.
