Hi Thomas,
Thank you for running a relay!

Right now, Tor sees a lot of circuit creation requests due to what most people think is a botnet that is using Tor.
The second issue is that Tor does not scale well across multiple CPU cores yet. Looks like, either way, you are hitting the limit of your CPU core.
- I've also set MaxOnionQueue 250, but that didn't change much. Any other suggestions?
MaxOnionQueue should not be necessary or helpful to set in modern Tor releases.
If you see a maxed out CPU core, what you might want to try is run multiple Tor processes in parallel. We do that, although usually for modern CPUs this is only necessary at and above roughly 100 Mbit/s.
