<span style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;" dir="ltr">I ran into a problem with instances. On some of my servers I noticed that the performance decreased when running a node for each CPU (more than 2 virtual CPUs on those systems). So I disabled the newest node on those systems with "systemctl disable tor@instancename.default" without getting a output. But after an TOR update or reboot of the system, that instance is up again.</span>
