In case you haven't already seen it, you should only run two Tor processes per IP address:

Hey guys, I recently decided to get myself an 8 core, 16 GB RAM machine to use for running an exit relay and was wondering, Tor only works on one core, even setting NumCPUs to 2 doesn't do a whole lot so, how is it even possible to get more than maybe, 300Mbps or so from one relay? Maybe I'm missing something but, running multiple Tor processes is just going to have multiple relays with different OR and Dir ports for each, right?
You are right, the multithreading capabilities are very limited. You need to set up more than one to handle more traffic.
