Tons of things, recompiling, optimizing the OS, updating libevent, running multiple daemons. 

For some good guides on howto run a faster exit node, look at: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server and poke around that site to see more suggestions.

I have a machine that is dedicated to being a Tor exit node. How can I maximize the performance (high throughput / low latency) of Tor traffic?

I have plenty of under-utilized CPU and RAM resources on this system. According to TorStatus, my bandwidth is rarely maxed-out.

This is on a Linux system, currently running Tor v0.2.2.30-rc.

So... what resources can I spend to make this a better Tor node?

Thanks.
