Is your OpenSSL compiled optimised for your processor and for the encryption that Tor uses?
I am using the OpenSSL that was compiled for my version of Mixmaster as I am running a middle remailer on the same VPS. It is OpenSSL: 1.0.1e
Does Tor log a message when it starts recommending an optimised version of OpenSSL?
There are no references in my notices.log and my .log file is empty. I will temporarily change my log level to debug and see what it shows.
How much RAM does your VPS have?
512KB
This is likely to be your issue. 512 MB is not enough for a large relay. Tor will limit its memory and connections to stay under about 3/4 of the memory you have. Try 1GB.

Thanks for advice. Unfortunately upgrading to 1gb is not an option for me. Right now it appears that Tor is not using anywhere near what is available in memory as evidenced by my top command.
