Bitcoin's throughput is artificially capped anyways. It can't ever be used for anything where throughput matters, regardless of whether it's at its peak throughput or not. Edit: Furthermore, it's completely normal for Bitcoin's throughput to jump up and down by 40% for an hour during any normal day (and even down to zero blocks in an entire hour every once in a while). Block variance means that blocks come in unpredictably, and each block has a hard size limit, so the network can't "make up for" the lost throughput.
