I am seeing the same issue, also for the first time, despite having run a relay for over three years. I'm willing to adjust the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth, but I'm waiting to see if this is bug that will be addressed first.

Hi All,
Is this a "known" issue, my non-exit relay has been running for over a year, and although with the recent issues (attack / network issue or the likes) with some ipfilter kunfu it managed to get through the storm pretty well. Now all of a sudden since early today my logs are flooded with:
Jan 18 11:34:44 tornode Tor[65839]: Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit policy. [204844 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds]
First message is at Jan 18 07:17:13, last just Jan 18 11:37:44, when adding the # of circuits up, total in ~4 hours: 18033820 being 18 Million, which feels a bit much, but don't have any figures to compare. On the current hardware this never seemed to be an issue, not even by far it was normally (according to ESXi) at ~400-500mhz, now it's using 2 vCPU's at ~4000Mhz.
Now of course I can lower the bandwidth, but if these are low bandwidth circuits then lowering the bandwidth from 10Mbyte/sec (peak 12,5Mbyte/sec) to a lower value might actually not resolve it.
Anybody seeing this as well and/or ideas / advice etc?
