Hi Moritz, Excerpts from Moritz Bartl's message of Mon Jan 13 19:30:05 +0100 2014:
First of all, if you don't limit your relay bandwidth and hit CPU limits, this will have a negative impact for Tor users. So you should always make sure that CPU (single core!) usage stays well below 100%. An indicator of a CPU-bound problem are log entries like
Ah, thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I'll have to slow things down to stay within bandwidth limits now, anyway.
"Failed to hand off onionskin. Closing. Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests!"
None of these recently, though apparently there were some in autumn. I was probably not really overle
Judging from Atlas, your relay might have just gotten the Stable flag. For details, see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay
That may well have happened, the machine running was quite crash prone and recently had a rare stable spell. Still, any theories on how that would reduce my per-bandwidth CPU consumption?
ciao,
