With an upgrade to ubuntu 13.10 x64 there seem to be no more support for aesni module - so it doesnt seem to be usable any more. With older ubuntu releases it works.

Does this help already?
I've recognized that some configurations are running easily with an higher throughput - but could not figure out whats the reason for it. My VPS'es are almost running in an KVM environment - but the 2 fastest ones running on OpenVZ hypervisor.
I tried KVM and OpenVZ some years ago for high bandwidth relays, and couldn't get it to make decent throughput at all. I now run all our fast relays "on bare metal".
But anyway im interested on reactivating that function as it seems to really speedup relay's speed.
Unless you max out /all/ your CPU cores, you can and should simply spin up more Tor processes in parallel, one per CPU core, and limit their bandwidth so they never hit 100% CPU usage.
