Have you tried tweaking the query rate options in your armrc?

No I have not yet tried this.
Switching to the connection panel lets arm often freeze. Is there another way to get country statistics from a node? Maybe something build in Tor?
You can query the locale for an address from tor via...
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/control-spec.txt#l671
To simulate what arm does you could write a script that makes netstat/lsof/procstat queries, parse the results, then feed those addresses to the 'GETINFO ip-to-country/*' command. Actually, I could probably write a script for you that does this via stem (https://stem.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html)...
Doing netstat queries means that I get 80000+ ip addresses on my server. Each of these addresses I would have to check against the list of relays to sort out connections to other relays and only do GETINFO ip-to-country to the remaining IPs. This sounds complicated and error-prone. Can't the ORCONN event be used to get a notification if a client connects?
Thanks for your help
