Thus spake swsnyder@snydernet.net (swsnyder@snydernet.net):
FYI, this is a profile of my Tor v0.2.2.30-rc relay, taken in a 10-minute sampling:
CPU: CPU with timer interrupt, speed 0 MHz (estimated) Profiling through timer interrupt samples % linenr info symbol name 3126 29.7290 cast-586.s:9 CAST_encrypt
Can you attach gdb to your relay and set a breakpoint for CAST_encrypt? We have no idea why this function should be called at all (unless it is for something like reading keyfiles off disk?) let alone dominate your profile output.
gdb -p <tor_pid> (gdb) break CAST_encrypt (gdb) cont
You may need to stick a 'file /usr/bin/tor' or similar in there.
If you get no hits, try to do it on startup:
gdb /usr/bin/tor
(gdb) break CAST_encrypt Function "CAST_encrypt" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y (gdb) run [<tor args>]
If you get any hits, run 'backtrace' and give us the output. You may need to install some debuginfo packages, but gdb should tell you this if so.
If anyone playing along at home gets any hits on either of these breakpoints, let us know.

After running for 14 hours, the Tor relay has consumed 1.6% of CPU time. It is now using 45MB of RAM, servicing 112 active connections.
According to http://torstatus.blutmagie.de my Max/Burst/Observed (Bps) bandwidth is:

Just another data point.
