I'm currently seeing more than a doubling of connections (from a mean of c. 2000 established connections to just over 5000) on my relay at 0xbaddad. The log is full of the (expected) messages: "Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests!"
I guess this is related to the massive jump in connected clients in the past few days and I assume that everyone else is seeing something similar. Same situation here. My speculation is that someone read about the childporn site that got busted, figured the tor network is evil and bought a botnet to try to Ddos it.
